It took me a while to figure out why you need to do the netlink_remove() in
the error path.
I think it's really asking for trouble to allow the socket to have temporary
visibility if we end up signalling an error.
It seems safest if we only do the autobind/insert once we are absolutely
certain that the bind() will fully succeed. This means that you have to
do this bind validation loop before autobind/insert.
Please make this change and resubmit this series, thanks.
