There is no need to process outstanding netlink user->kernel packets
during rtnl_unlock now. There is no rtnl_trylock in the rtnetlink_rcv
anymore.

Normal code path is the following:
netlink_sendmsg
   netlink_unicast
       netlink_sendskb
           skb_queue_tail
           netlink_data_ready
               rtnetlink_rcv
                   mutex_lock(&rtnl_mutex);
                   netlink_run_queue(sk, qlen, &rtnetlink_rcv_msg);
                   mutex_unlock(&rtnl_mutex);

So, it is possible, that packets can be present in the rtnl->sk_receive_queue
during rtnl_unlock, but there is no need to process them at that moment as
rtnetlink_rcv for that packet is pending.

Applied.
