[NETLINK]: cb_lock does not needs ref count on sk
Here is a little optimisation for the cb_lock used by netlink_dump. While fixing that race earlier, I noticed that the reference count held by cb_lock is completely useless. The reason is that in order to obtain the protection of the reference count, you have to take the cb_lock. But the only way to take the cb_lock is through dereferencing the socket. That is, you must already possess a reference count on the socket before you can take advantage of the reference count held by cb_lock. As a corollary, we can remve the reference count held by the cb_lock. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
