4.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Herbert Xu <herb...@gondor.apana.org.au>
[ Upstream commit c0bb07df7d981e4091432754e30c9c720e2c0c78 ]
The commit c5adde9468b0714a051eac7f9666f23eb10b61f7 ("netlink:
eliminate nl_sk_hash_lock") breaks the autobind retry mechanism
because it doesn't reset portid after a failed netlink_insert.
This means that should autobind fail the first time around, then
the socket will be stuck in limbo as it can never be bound again
since it already has a non-zero portid.
Fixes: c5adde9468b0 ("netlink: eliminate nl_sk_hash_lock")
