Provisional ACK since you are correct that it isn't visibly used, but I
can't help thinking the author had some reason for adding it. It looks
like SOL_NETLINK wasn't present in kernel 2.6 (RHEL6 vintage - although
it is mentioned in a comment of one of the system #includes), but was
there by the time of kernel 3.10 (RHEL7).
I Cc'ed the author's email on this reply. If we don't hear back from
him, I guess we can assume it was something put in to test an alternate
netlink protocol, and we can add it back in later if it causes a build
problem on some platform, or is needed for something in the future. (I
did try a stock build on RHEL6 with this chunk removed, and it had no
problems; that, combined with the fact that it's defined below all the
#includes in the file shows that it's not a case of a reference hidden
in an include file somewhere).
