In commit af65bdfce9 ("[NETLINK]: Switch cb_lock spinlock
to mutex and allow to override it"), Patrick McHardy used
a common mutex to protect both nlk->cb and the dump() operations.
The override is used for rtnl dumps, registered with
rntl_register() and rntl_register_module().
We want to be able to opt-out some dump() operations
to not acquire RTNL, so we need to protect nlk->cb
with a per socket mutex.
This patch renames nlk->cb_def_mutex to nlk->nl_cb_mutex
The optional pointer to the mutex used to protect dump()
call is stored in nlk->dump_cb_mutex

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
