[GENETLINK]: Relax dances with genl_lock.
The genl_unregister_family() calls the genl_unregister_mc_groups(), which takes and releases the genl_lock and then locks and releases this lock itself. Relax this behavior, all the more so the genl_unregister_mc_groups() is called from genl_unregister_family() only. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
