Was this intended, that this code snippet doesn't work this way
anymore or is this just a bug?

It's an unintended regression.

But nobody noticed it, because almost no-one uses NETLINK_USER.

This might fix it, give it a test:

Yes, that fixes it. Tested with 2.6.35.4 and 2.6.36-rc3.

Thanks for testing.
