BUG: lockdep (inconsistent usage) in netlink

[Benjamin Block]

Hello,

while rebooting one of my dev-machines I stumbled over this
lockdep-mess-up:

Sadly I couldn't reproduce it. This looks all to be very general
functions and my best guess is, netlink_poll() needs to be irq-save.
Thing is, the corresponding code is quite old and I can't really bisec
it, because the none-reproducibility.

There is only the small ipv6-fib patch applied, I send in earlier today
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/8/21/506). This should have nothing to do
with this here.
