Subject: [PATCH 4.1 26/29] netlink: Fix autobind race condition that leads to zero port ID

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au>

[ Upstream commit 1f770c0a09da855a2b51af6d19de97fb955eca85 ]

The commit c0bb07df7d981e4091432754e30c9c720e2c0c78 ("netlink:
Reset portid after netlink_insert failure") introduced a race
condition where if two threads try to autobind the same socket
one of them may end up with a zero port ID.  This led to kernel
deadlocks that were observed by multiple people.

This patch reverts that commit and instead fixes it by introducing
a separte rhash_portid variable so that the real portid is only set
after the socket has been successfully hashed.

Fixes: c0bb07df7d98 ("netlink: Reset portid after netlink_insert failure")
