The current rhashtable rehash code is buggy and can't deal with
parallel insertions/removals without corrupting the hash table.

This patch disables it by partially reverting
c5adde9468b0714a051eac7f9666f23eb10b61f7 ("netlink: eliminate
nl_sk_hash_lock").

This patch also removes a bogus socket lock introduced by that
very same patch.

Herbert, if you agree with me in the other thread that the lock_sock()
or something like it has to remain, you'll need to respin this.

Actually I think this one is OK because I'm replacing it with the
hash table mutex which is just like the previous global lock except
that it is per-family.  As you cannot change the family on a netlink
socket this should be good enough.

But the changelog message is wrong so here is an updated version.

Cheers,
