Well, we do have a problem with interrupted dumps. As you know once
the netlink message buffer is full, we return to userspace and
continue dumping during the next read. Expanding obviously changes
the order since we rehash from bucket N to N and 2N, so this will
indeed cause duplicate (doesn't matter) and missed entries.
