This makes generic netlink network namespace aware. No
generic netlink families except for the controller family
are made namespace aware, they need to be checked one by
one and then set the family->netnsok member to true.
A new function genlmsg_multicast_netns() is introduced to
allow sending a multicast message in a given namespace,
for example when it applies to an object that lives in
that namespace, a new function genlmsg_multicast_allns()
to send a message to all network namespaces (for objects
that do not have an associated netns).
The function genlmsg_multicast() is changed to multicast
the message in just init_net, which is currently correct
for all generic netlink families since they only work in
init_net right now. Some will later want to work in all
net namespaces because they do not care about the netns
at all -- those will have to be converted to use one of
the new functions genlmsg_multicast_allns() or
genlmsg_multicast_netns() whenever they are made netns
aware in some way.
After this patch families can easily decide whether or
not they should be available in all net namespaces. Many
genl families us it for objects not related to networking
and should therefore be available in all namespaces, but
that will have to be done on a per family basis.
Note that this doesn't touch on the checkpoint/restart
problem where network namespaces could be used, genl
families and multicast groups are numbered globally and
I see no easy way of changing that, especially since it
must be possible to multicast to all network namespaces
for those families that do not care about netns.

Use genl_register_family_with_ops() instead of a copy. This also changes
netlink related variable names to be kernel-wide unique for consistency
with other users.

This patch prevents a TIPC configuration command requiring network
administrator privileges from triggering an skbuff underrun if it
is issued by a process lacking those privileges. The revised error
handling code avoids the use of a potentially uninitialized global
variable by transforming the unauthorized command into a new command,
then following the standard command processing path to generate the
required error message.

The tipc netlink config handler uses the nlmsg_pid from the
request header as destination for its reply. If the application
initialized nlmsg_pid to 0, the reply is looped back to the kernel,
causing hangup. Fix: use nlmsg_pid of the skb that triggered the
request.

For the common "(struct nlmsghdr *)skb->data" sequence, so that we reduce the
number of direct accesses to skb->data and for consistency with all the other
cast skb member helpers.

Increasing the module ref count at registration will block the module from
ever being unloaded. In fact, genetlink should not care about the owner at
all. This patch removes the owner field from the struct registered with
genetlink.
