Immediately after freeing the buffer returned from rtnl_talk(), it is
accessed again via pointer in struct rtattr array. This leads to some
builds not allowing to set an interface's MAC address because the
expected length value is garbage.

Fixes: 86bf43c7c2fdc ("lib/libnetlink: update rtnl_talk to support malloc buff at run time")
