>> netlink: Fix dump skb leak/double free

>> When we free cb->skb after a dump, we do it after releasing the
>> lock.  This means that a new dump could have started in the time
>> being and we'll end up freeing their skb instead of ours.
>> 
>> This patch saves the skb and module before we unlock so we free
>> the right memory.

Use CVE-2016-9806.
