The call to nla_nest_start in conntrack can lead to a NULL
return so it's possible for attr to become NULL and we can potentially
get a NULL pointer dereference on attr.  Fix this by checking for
a NULL return.

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200533
Fixes: 11efd5cb04a1 ("openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit")
