netlink: fix locking around NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS
Currently, NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS grabs the netlink table while copying
the membership state to user-space. However, grabing the netlink table is
effectively a write_lock_irq(), and as such we should not be triggering
page-faults in the critical section.
This can be easily reproduced by the following snippet:
int s = socket(AF_NETLINK, SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_ROUTE);
void *p = mmap(0, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON, -1, 0);
int r = getsockopt(s, 0x10e, 9, p, (void*)((char*)p + 4092));
This should work just fine, but currently triggers EFAULT and a possible
WARN_ON below handle_mm_fault().
Fix this by reducing locking of NETLINK_LIST_MEMBERSHIPS to a read-side
lock. The write-lock was overkill in the first place, and the read-lock
allows page-faults just fine.
