This is part of the grand scheme to eliminate the qlen
member of skb_queue_head, and subsequently remove the
'list' member of sk_buff.

Most users of skb_queue_len() want to know if the queue is
empty or not, and that's trivially done with skb_queue_empty()
which doesn't use the skb_queue_head->qlen member and instead
uses the queue list emptyness as the test.

1) netlink_release() should only decrement the hash entry
   count if the socket was actually hashed.

   This was causing hash->entries to underflow, which
   resulting in all kinds of troubles.

   On 64-bit systems, this would cause the following
   conditional to erroneously trigger:

	err = -ENOMEM;
	if (BITS_PER_LONG > 32 && unlikely(hash->entries >= UINT_MAX))
		goto err;

2) netlink_autobind() needs to propagate the error return from
   netlink_insert().  Otherwise, callers will not see the error
   as they should and thus try to operate on a socket with a zero pid,
   which is very bad.

   However, it should not propagate -EBUSY.  If two threads race
   to autobind the socket, that is fine.  This is consistent with the
   autobind behavior in other protocols.

   So bug #1 above, combined with this one, resulted in hangs
   on netlink_sendmsg() calls to the rtnetlink socket.  We'd try
   to do the user sendmsg() with the socket's pid set to zero,
   later we do a socket lookup using that pid (via the value we
   stashed away in NETLINK_CB(skb).pid), but that won't give us the
   user socket, it will give us the rtnetlink socket.  So when we
   try to wake up the receive queue, we dive back into rtnetlink_rcv()
   which tries to recursively take the rtnetlink semaphore.

Thanks to Jakub Jelink for providing backtraces.  Also, thanks to
Herbert Xu for supplying debugging patches to help track this down,
and also finding a mistake in an earlier version of this fix.

Introduces a new macro NLMSG_NEW which extends NLMSG_PUT but takes
a flags argument. NLMSG_PUT stays there for compatibility but now
calls NLMSG_NEW with flags == 0. NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER is renamed to
NLMSG_NEW_ANSWER which now also takes a flags argument.

Also converts the users of NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER to use NLMSG_NEW_ANSWER
and fixes the two direct users of __nlmsg_put to either provide
the flags or use NLMSG_NEW(_ANSWER).

In netlink_broadcast() we're sending shared skb's to netlink listeners
when possible (saves some copying). This is OK, since we hold the only
other reference to the skb.

However, this implies that we must drop our reference on the skb, before
allowing a receiving socket to disappear. Otherwise, the socket buffer
accounting is disrupted.

This bug causes:

assertion (!atomic_read(&sk->sk_rmem_alloc)) failed at net/netlink/af_netlink.c (122)

What's happening is that:

1) The skb is sent to socket 1.
2) Someone does a recvmsg on socket 1 and drops the ref on the skb.
   Note that the rmalloc is not returned at this point since the
   skb is still referenced.
3) The same skb is now sent to socket 2.

This version of the fix resurrects the skb_orphan call that was moved
out, last time we had 'shared-skb troubles'. It is practically a no-op
in the common case, but still prevents the possible race with recvmsg.

Here is a little optimisation for the cb_lock used by netlink_dump.
While fixing that race earlier, I noticed that the reference count
held by cb_lock is completely useless.  The reason is that in order
to obtain the protection of the reference count, you have to take
the cb_lock.  But the only way to take the cb_lock is through
dereferencing the socket.

That is, you must already possess a reference count on the socket
before you can take advantage of the reference count held by cb_lock.
As a corollary, we can remve the reference count held by the cb_lock.

	A lot of places in there are including major.h for no reason
whatsoever.  Removed.  And yes, it still builds.

	The history of that stuff is often amusing.  E.g. for net/core/sock.c
the story looks so, as far as I've been able to reconstruct it: we used to
need major.h in net/socket.c circa 1.1.early.  In 1.1.13 that need had
disappeared, along with register_chrdev(SOCKET_MAJOR, "socket", &net_fops)
in sock_init().  Include had not.  When 1.2 -> 1.3 reorg of net/* had moved

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
