Yes, that pid handling looks very strange.  But I would
search the history of this code that passes the netlink
skb parms around before making any changes to things like
inet6_rt_notify :)

It appears to have been added in 2.4.32, the original patch passes the
raw pid around as the argument but that got changed to the current
form which passes the netlink_skb_parms.
