I think you can call netlink_dump_done from af_netlink.c:

static int netlink_dump(struct sock *sk) 
        ...
        if (cb->done) {
                cb->done(cb);
                netlink_dump_done(...);
        }

Thus, you don't need to change netlink_dump_control in every netlink
subsystem.

You can do something similar to:

9f00d97 netlink: hide struct module parameter in netlink_kernel_create

by definiting netlink_dump_start as static inline and using
THIS_MODULE from there.

If I'm not missing anything, with those two changes, you will not need
to modify any caller and it will result one single patch.
