Pin and device dumps release dpll_lock between parts and resume from the
id saved by the previous part. An object registered in between is missed
if its id is below that one, as is the case for an object allocated
before the dump started. User space gets an incomplete dump and has no
way to tell.
Count registrations and unregistrations in a generation counter and pass
it to genl_dump_check_consistent() to set NLM_F_DUMP_INTR. Check it only
after a message is built, a cancelled message would consume the change.
Found by code review. Reproduced with a test module registering a device
or a pin with a low id between parts of a raw netlink dump: the object was
missing and no message had the flag set. With this patch the flag is set
when an object is registered or unregistered during a dump, and is not
set on dumps without such a change. Tested in QEMU and on a ZL30732A
board, where unbinding the driver during a dump sets the flag as well.
Fixes: 9d71b54b65b1 ("dpll: netlink: Add DPLL framework base functions")
