OK I've decided to drop the acquire/release helpers as they don't
help us at all and simply pessimises the code by using full memory
barriers (on some architectures) where only a write or read barrier
is needed.

But you are right we do need an explicit write barrier here to
ensure that the hashing is visible.

It's not about being overly smart. It's about actually understanding
what's going on with the code. I've seen too many instances of
people simply sprinkling synchronisation primitives around without
any knowledge of what is happening underneath, which is just a recipe
for creating hard-to-debug races.

The reason this one is OK is because we do not use nlk->portid or
try to get nlk from the hash table before we return to user-space.
However, there is a real bug here that none of these acquire/release
helpers discovered. The two bound tests here used to be a single
one. Now that they are separate it is entirely possible for another
thread to come in the middle and bind the socket. So we need to
repeat the portid check in order to maintain consistency.

Ditto.

The commit 1f770c0a09 ("netlink:
Fix autobind race condition that leads to zero port ID") created
some new races that can occur due to inconcsistencies between the
two port IDs.
Tejun is right that a barrier is unavoidable. Therefore I am
reverting to the original patch that used a boolean to indicate
that a user netlink socket has been bound.
Barriers have been added where necessary to ensure that a valid
portid and the hashed socket is visible.
I have also changed netlink_insert to only return EBUSY if the
socket is bound to a portid different to the requested one. This
combined with only reading nlk->bound once in netlink_bind fixes
a race where two threads that bind the socket at the same time
with different port IDs may both succeed.
Fixes: 1f770c0a09 ("netlink: Fix autobind race condition that leads to zero port ID")
