[PATCH] netfilter: nfnetlink: fix uninitialized local variable

[icejl <icejl0001@gmail.com>]

In the nfnetlink_rcv_batch function, an uninitialized local variable
extack is used, which results in using random stack data as a pointer.
This pointer is then used to access the data it points to and return
it as the request status, leading to an information leak. If the stack
data happens to be an invalid pointer, it can cause a pointer access
exception, triggering a kernel crash.
