Subject: genetlink: Add lockdep_genl_is_held().
X-Git-Tag: master-2012-01-05-2~345^2~4

genetlink: Add lockdep_genl_is_held().

Open vSwitch uses genl_mutex locking to protect datapath
data-structures like flow-table, flow-actions. Following patch adds
lockdep_genl_is_held() which is used for rcu annotation to prove
locking.
