[ CCing Fengguang Wu who reported the same issue on LKML (see [0]) ]

Was "netlink/genetlink: pass network namespace to bind/unbind" patch
[1] forgotten in this 'netlink_multicast' merge?
I also tested with that patch on top of net.git#master.
The warning still remains.

I have #if 0-ed the WARN_ON() for now (see attached patch), this makes
the warning go away for me.

BTW, I looked through the patches listed in [2] but this list seems to
be truncated.
Then I looked again at the linux-netdev ML where I found Johannes'
patch and Dave replied "Applied, thanks Johannes." (see thread in
[3]).
Forgot to push out?
