[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.19 14/73] genetlink: hold read cb_lock during iteration of genl_fam_idr in genl_bind()

[ Upstream commit 8f1948bdcf2fb50e9092c0950c3c9ac591382101 ]

In genl_bind(), currently genl_lock and write cb_lock are taken
for iteration of genl_fam_idr and processing of static values
stored in struct genl_family. Take just read cb_lock for this task
as it is sufficient to guard the idr and the struct against
concurrent genl_register/unregister_family() calls.

This will allow to run genl command processing in genl_rcv() and
mnl_socket_setsockopt(.., NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, ..) in parallel.
