-------------------
This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.

-------------------

commit bec4596b4e6770c7037f21f6bd27567b152dc0d6 upstream.

drop_monitor calls several sleeping functions while in atomic context.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slub.c:943

Rework the logic to call the sleeping functions in right context.

Use standard timer/workqueue api to let system chose any cpu to perform
the allocation and netlink send.

Also avoid a loop if reset_per_cpu_data() cannot allocate memory :
use mod_timer() to wait 1/10 second before next try.
