Valgrind detected use after free in netlink_run_handler(): some members of
struct nl_context are accessed after the netlink context is freed by
netlink_done(). Use local variables to store the two flags and check them
instead.

Fixes: 6c19c0d559c8 ("netlink: use genetlink ops information to decide about fallback")
