Correctly clean up --config-only networks

The endpoint count for --config-only networks
was being incremented even when the respective --config-from
inherited network failed to create a network

This was due to a variable shadowing problem with err causing
the deferred function to not execute correctly.

Using the same err variable across the entire function fixes
the issue
