4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 02a2385f37a7c6594c9d89b64c4a1451276f08eb ]
nlmsg_multicast() consumes always the skb, thus the original skb must be
freed only when this function is called with a clone.
Fixes: cb9f7a9a5c96 ("netlink: ensure to loop over all netns in genlmsg_multicast_allns()")
