PATCH 1/1 net/netlink/af_netlink.c: possible cleanups

The patch below contains the following possible cleanups:
- make the needlessly global function netlink_getsockbypid static
- remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL'ed but unused functions netlink_attach and netlink_detach

Please review whether these changes are correct or whether they conflict with pending patches.

I think this should be left alone for now; what we need to do is deprecate NETLINK_DEV incase someone is still using it. Else we could get rid of it totaly including what Adrian is deleting below. Any users of NETLINK_DEV? Maybe deleting the feature will get someone whining? ;->

cheers,

While I agree we should probably just kill NETLINK_DEV now and don't look back, I have applied Adrian's patch for the time being.
