[RFC PATCH] ixgbe: acquire RCU read lock when calling netdev_for_each_all_upper_dev_rcu()

[Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@linux.intel.com>]

According to documentation for netdev_for_each_all_upper_dev_rcu(),
caller should take RCU read lock, otherwise it will trigger following
warnings. The simplest fix is to protect with rcu_read_lock()/
rcu_read_unlock(). And this solutions passes basic tests.

Otherwise we may need to introduce  netdev_for_each_all_upper_dev()
as netdev_lower_get_next_private(), which assumes the caller has
gained the lock to protect the list.
