[PATCH 3.2 081/126] rtnl: reset calcit fptr in rtnl_unregister()

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Wed Feb 15 2017 - 18:05:49 EST


3.2.85-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f567e950bf51290755a2539ff2aaef4c26f735d3 upstream.

To avoid having dangling function pointers left behind, reset calcit in
rtnl_unregister(), too.

This is no issue so far, as only the rtnl core registers a netlink
handler with a calcit hook which won't be unregistered, but may become
one if new code makes use of the calcit hook.
