[2.6 patch] net/netlink/af_netlink.c: possible cleanups

From: Adrian Bunk
Date: Tue Dec 14 2004 - 19:57:21 EST


The patch below contains the following possible cleanups:
- make the needlessly global function netlink_getsockbypid static
- remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL'ed but unused functions netlink_attach and
netlink_detach

Please review whether these changes are correct or whether they conflict
with pending patches.
