Revert "genetlink: fix family dump race"

This reverts commit 58ad436fcf49810aa006016107f494c9ac9013db.

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.
