Subject: [PATCH 3.16 053/178] nl80211: fix dumpit error path RTNL deadlocks
3.16.46-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>
commit ea90e0dc8cecba6359b481e24d9c37160f6f524f upstream.
Sowmini pointed out Dmitry's RTNL deadlock report to me, and it turns out
to be perfectly accurate - there are various error paths that miss unlock
of the RTNL.
To fix those, change the locking a bit to not be conditional in all those
nl80211_prepare_*_dump() functions, but make those require the RTNL to
start with, and fix the buggy error paths. This also let me use sparse
(by appropriately overriding the rtnl_lock/rtnl_unlock functions) to
validate the changes.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16:
- Drop changes to nl80211_dump_interface(), nl80211_dump_mpp(),
nl80211_prepare_vendor_dump(), nl80211_vendor_cmd_dump()
- Adjust context]
