w1: fix netlink refcnt leak on error path
If the message type is W1_MASTER_CMD or W1_SLAVE_CMD, then a reference is taken when searching for the slave or master device. If there isn't any following data m->len (mlen is a copy) is 0 and packing up the message for later execution is skipped leaving nothing to decrement the reference counts. Way back when, m->len was checked before the search that increments the reference count, but W1_LIST_MASTERS has no additional data, the check was moved in 9be62e0 causing this bug. This change reorders to put the check before the reference count is incremented avoiding the problem.
