Subject: [PATCH] netlink: Re-add locking to netlink_lookup() and seq walker

Heiko,

Can you test the following patch:

The synchronize_rcu() in netlink_release() introduces unacceptable
latency. Reintroduce minimal lookup so we can drop the
synchronize_rcu() until socket destruction has been RCUfied.
