Hi Pablo,

This is v4 of the GTP improvements. Compared to v3 it contains mostly
smallish naming and spelling fixes. It also drops the documentation
patch, Harald did a better job with the documentation and the some things
I described do not yet match the implementation. I'll readd the relevant
parts with a follow up series.

This series lays the groundwork for removing the socket references from
the GTP netdevice by removing duplicate code and simplifying the logic on
some code paths.

It slighly changes the GTP genl API by making the socket parameters optional
(though one of them is still required).

The removal of the socket references will break the 1:1 releation between
GTP netdevice and GTP socket that prevents us to support multiple VRFs with
overlaping IP addresse spaces attached to the same GTP-U entity (needed for
multi APN support, comming a follow up series).

Pablo found a socket hold problem in v2. In order to solve that I had to
switch the socket references from the struct socket to the internal
struct sock. This should have no functionl impact, but we can now hang
on to the reference without blocking user space from closing the GTP socket.

v3->v4:
 * drop the documentation patch
 * spelling fixes
 * pass nlattr instead of genl_info into gtp_find_dev,
   makes the code slightly more compact and readable
v2->v3:
 * add documentation to explain the goal of all these changes
 * incorporate review comments
 * switch from struct socket to struct sock

Regards
Andreas
