This patch is to void the potential security issue that the family or protocol modules are autoloaded when requesting _diag module by not requesting _diag module if the family or protocol is not added or registered in sock_diag and inet_diag.
As the repost of the patch '[PATCH net] sock_diag: request _diag module only when the family or proto has been registered', this patchset fixes the compiling errors when INET is not set, and also split into two patches to make it clear to review.
