Christopher,

I'm reverting the patch which made two things to RDMA netlink - It made
the netlink stack blocking, which shouldn't. And reinvented the wheel with
setting timeout on socket, instead of using proper and already exposed API.

I tried to explain it in commit message.

Chien sent patch which supposed to replace my revert, but both of his and
my patch wasn't accepted without any reason, so I proceed.

Thanks
