Revert "genl: Add genlmsg_new_unicast() for unicast message allocation"
This reverts commit bb9b18fb55b0 ("genl: Add genlmsg_new_unicast() for unicast message allocation")'. Nothing wrong with it; its no longer needed since this was only for mmapped netlink support. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
