Just FYI. Here is what I observed when running
stress-ng.netlink-proc testing:

Whatever with/without the patch, cn_netlink_send_mult() returns
-ESRCH in most case.

The following is what the cn_netlink_send_mult() returns when
stress-ng.netlink-proc is running:

..
213801  213801  stress-ng-3     cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213801  213801  stress-ng-spawn cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213801  213801  stress-ng-spawn cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213801  213801  stress-ng-wait  cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213802  213802  stress-ng-4     cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213802  213802  stress-ng-spawn cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213802  213802  stress-ng-spawn cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213802  213802  stress-ng-wait  cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213803  213803  stress-ng-5     cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213803  213803  stress-ng-dead  cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213803  213803  stress-ng-dead  cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213802  213802  stress-ng-wait  cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213801  213801  stress-ng-wait  cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213800  213800  stress-ng-wait  cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213799  213799  stress-ng-wait  cn_netlink_send_mult -3
213798  213798  stress-ng-wait  cn_netlink_send_mult -3
154697  154697  stress-ng       cn_netlink_send_mult -3
..


Looks like it's not accurate to reset proc_event_num_listeners
according to cn_netlink_send_mult() return value -3.
