[NETLINK]: Fix a severe bug
netlink overrun was broken while improvement of netlink.
Destination socket is used in the place where it was meant to be source socket,
so that now overrun is never sent to user netlink sockets, when it should be,
and it even can be set on kernel socket, which results in complete deadlock
of rtnetlink.
Suggested fix is to restore status quo passing source socket as additional
argument to netlink_attachskb().
A little explanation: overrun is set on a socket, when it failed
to receive some message and sender of this messages does not or even
have no way to handle this error. This happens in two cases:
1. when kernel sends something. Kernel never retransmits and cannot
wait for buffer space.
2. when user sends a broadcast and the message was not delivered
to some recipients.

[IPV6]: Address autoconfiguration does not work after device down/up cycle
If you set network interface down and up again, the IPv6 address
autoconfiguration does not work. 'ip addr' shows that the link-local
address is in tentative state. We don't even react to periodical router
advertisements.
During NETDEV_DOWN we clear IF_READY, and we don't set it back in
NETDEV_UP. While starting to perform DAD on the link-local address, we
notice that the device is not in IF_READY, and we abort autoconfiguration
process (which would eventually send router solicitations).

I therefore made it more explicit:

[ARM] 3309/1: disable the pre-ARMv5 NPTL kernel helper in the non MMU case
Patch from Nicolas Pitre
The cmpxchg emulation on pre-ARMv5 relies on user code executed from a
kernel address. If the operation cannot complete atomically, it is
aborted from the usr_entry macro by clearing the Z flag. This clearing
of the Z flag is done whenever the user pc is above TASK_SIZE.
However this "pc >= TASK_SIZE" test cannot work in the non MMU case.
Worse: the current code will corrupt the Z flag on every entry to the
kernel.
Let's disable it in the non MMU case for now. Using NPTL on non MMU
targets needs to be worked out anyway.
