Subject: [PATCH v2] Fix NULL pointer deref due to filtering on fork

cn_netlink_send_mult() should be called with filter & filter_data only
for EXIT case. For all other events, filter & filter_data should be
NULL.

Fixes: 2aa1f7a1f47c ("connector/cn_proc: Add filtering to fix some bugs")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@...el.com>
Closes: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lore.kernel.org/oe-lkp/202309201456.84c19e27-oliver.sang@intel.com__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!PgqlHq_nOe_KlyKkB9Mm_S8QstTJvicjuENwskatuuQK05KPuFw-KvRZeOH8iuEAMjRhkxEMPKJJnLcaT8zrPf9aqNs$
