[NETLINK]: More complete fix for race.
Unfortunately my patch only closed half the race. There is still a chunk of code between netlink_dump_start and netlink_dump that runs outside the cb lock which isn't protected by an sk reference. Here is a better patch which protects the entire netlink_dump function with a sk reference. The other call to netlink_dump by recvmsg is safe as the open file descriptor already holds a reference. As such the final sock_put in netlink_dump can be turned into a __sock_put since there is at least one reference held by the caller.
