H A Dfib_rules.cdiff 2907c35ff64708065e5a7fd54e8ded8263eb3074 Wed May 25 02:34:04 CDT 2011 Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> net: hold rtnl again in dump callbacks

Commit e67f88dd12f6 (dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump callbacks)
missed fact that rtnl_fill_ifinfo() must be called with rtnl held.

Because of possible deadlocks between two mutexes (cb_mutex and rtnl),
its not easy to solve this problem, so revert this part of the patch.

It also forgot one rcu_read_unlock() in FIB dump_rules()

Add one ASSERT_RTNL() in rtnl_fill_ifinfo() to remind us the rule.
