This one turns out to be buggy, see thread called "3.11-rc6 genetlink
locking fix offends lockdep".

I really think there should be delay before stable picks up stuff from
mainline, unless it's something particularly critical and
well-discussed.. Maybe a week or so.

Now it's both in 3.0 and 3.10, so the revert (unless we find a better
fix - and the first two patches have already failed) will have to go
there too.
