[ 26/34] genetlink: fix family dump race

Johannes, another strike against this patch :(

Any chance on fixing it upstream and me sucking that fix in?

Yeah, I'm trying to get that, but it's not clear to me how to fix it.
Where did you apply it? It was going to need some fixes but when the
first objection was raised I figured you were going to drop it for now
completely? Sorry for the mess :-(

You're right, I'll drop this for 3.4, it doesn't make sense there.

And you'll drop it from 3.0 and 3.10 also, I hope?

It wasn't in 3.0, was it?  Oh crap, it was...

3.10, I'd rather have the "real" fix that ends up resolving the issue in
Linus's tree also, instead of just dropping it.

Especially as I just did the releases...


3.10 worked fine with no issues with this fix. I couldn't test 3.0 on this system because 3.4 is the minimum for my test system.
