3.16.7-ckt21 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx>
commit dbc3617f4c1f9fcbe63612048cb9583fea1e11ab upstream.
nfnetlink_bind request_module()s all the time as nfnetlink_get_subsys()
shifts the argument by 8 to obtain the subsys id.
So using type instead of type << 8 always returns NULL.
Fixes: 03292745b02d11 ("netlink: add nlk->netlink_bind hook for module auto-loading")
