Please try this patch. ---8<--- Subject: [PATCH 4.4 22/78] netlink: Annotate nlk cb_mutex by protocol Currently all occurences of nlk->cb_mutex are annotated by lockdep as a single class. This causes a false lcokdep cycle involving genl and crypto_user. This patch fixes it by dividing cb_mutex into individual classes based on the netlink protocol. As genl and crypto_user do not use the same netlink protocol this breaks the false dependency loop.
