[ovs-dev] [PATCH net-next 2/4] genetlink: Add lockdep_genl_is_held().

[Jesse Gross]

From: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar at nicira.com>

Open vSwitch uses genl_mutex locking to protect datapath
data-structures like flow-table, flow-actions. Following patch adds
lockdep_genl_is_held() which is used for rcu annotation to prove
locking.
