Johannes Berg b8273570f8 genetlink: fix netns vs. netlink table locking (2)
Similar to commit d136f1bd36,
there's a bug when unregistering a generic netlink family,
which is caught by the might_sleep() added in that commit:

    BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at net/netlink/af_netlink.c:183
    in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 1510, name: rmmod
    2 locks held by rmmod/1510:
     #0:  (genl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff8138283b>] genl_unregister_family+0x2b/0x130
     #1:  (rcu_read_lock){.+.+..}, at: [<ffffffff8138270c>] __genl_unregister_mc_group+0x1c/0x120
    Pid: 1510, comm: rmmod Not tainted 2.6.31-wl #444
    Call Trace:
     [<ffffffff81044ff9>] __might_sleep+0x119/0x150
     [<ffffffff81380501>] netlink_table_grab+0x21/0x100
     [<ffffffff813813a3>] netlink_clear_multicast_users+0x23/0x60
     [<ffffffff81382761>] __genl_unregister_mc_group+0x71/0x120
     [<ffffffff81382866>] genl_unregister_family+0x56/0x130
     [<ffffffffa0007d85>] nl80211_exit+0x15/0x20 [cfg80211]
     [<ffffffffa000005a>] cfg80211_exit+0x1a/0x40 [cfg80211]

Fix in the same way by grabbing the netlink table lock
before doing rcu_read_lock().
