Subject: netlink: Re-add locking to netlink_lookup() and seq walker
From: Thomas Graf <tgraf@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 78fd1d0ab072d4d9b5f0b7c14a1516665170b565 ]
The synchronize_rcu() in netlink_release() introduces unacceptable
latency. Reintroduce minimal lookup so we can drop the
synchronize_rcu() until socket destruction has been RCUfied.
