netlink: use kfree_rcu() in netlink_release()
On some suspend/resume operations involving wimax device, we have noticed some intermittent memory corruptions in netlink code. Stéphane Marchesin tracked this corruption in netlink_update_listeners() and suggested a patch. It appears netlink_release() should use kfree_rcu() instead of kfree() for the listeners structure as it may be used by other cpus using RCU protection. netlink_release() must set to NULL the listeners pointer when it is about to be freed. Also have to protect netlink_update_listeners() and netlink_has_listeners() if listeners is NULL. Add a nl_deref_protected() lockdep helper to properly document which locks protects us.
