Revert "genetlink: fix family dump race"

This reverts commit 58667d377f702ae0fddef0399b3aac05bd541430.

It turns out that the change introduced a potential deadlock
by causing a locking dependency with netlink's cb_mutex. I
can't seem to find a way to resolve this without doing major
changes to the locking, so revert this.
