    genetlink: make multicast groups const, prevent abuse · 2a94fe48
    Johannes Berg 提交于
    Register generic netlink multicast groups as an array with
    the family and give them contiguous group IDs. Then instead
    of passing the global group ID to the various functions that
    send messages, pass the ID relative to the family - for most
    families that's just 0 because the only have one group.
    
    This avoids the list_head and ID in each group, adding a new
    field for the mcast group ID offset to the family.
    
    At the same time, this allows us to prevent abusing groups
    again like the quota and dropmon code did, since we can now
    check that a family only uses a group it owns.
