netlink: hide struct module parameter in netlink_kernel_create
This patch defines netlink_kernel_create as a wrapper function of __netlink_kernel_create to hide the struct module *me parameter (which seems to be THIS_MODULE in all existing netlink subsystems). Suggested by David S. Miller. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
