Subject: netlink: Annotate nlk cb_mutex by protocol
Currently all occurences of nlk->cb_mutex are annotated by lockdep
as a single class. This causes a false lcokdep cycle involving
genl and crypto_user.
This patch fixes it by dividing cb_mutex into individual classes
based on the netlink protocol. As genl and crypto_user do not
use the same netlink protocol this breaks the false dependency
loop.
