Confused because this code was never right? From 2008 there was a 
rewrite that instantiated this fragment of code so that it could handle 
continuations for overloaded receive queues, but it was not right before 
the adjustment.

Fixes: 83321d6b9872b94604e481a79dc2c8acbe4ece31 ("[AF_KEY]: Dump SA/SP 
entries non-atomically")

that is reaching back more than 12 years and the blame is poorly aimed 
AFAIK.
