[PATCH] inet_diag: fix panic when unload inet_diag

From: Gao feng <hidden>
Date: 2012-09-25 03:00:13
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

when inet_diag being compiled as module, inet_diag_handler_dump
set netlink_dump_control.dump to inet_diag_dump,so if module
inet_diag is unloaded,netlink will still try to call this function
in netlink_dump. this will cause kernel panic.

fix this by adding a reference of inet_diag module before
setting netlink_callback, and release this reference in
netlink_callback.done.

Thanks for all help from Stephen,Jan and Eric.
