| Just to update status of the issue. The key moment is that pppoe_flush_dev
| may be called asynchronously (especially via sysfs on dev entry, for example
| we retrieve mtu of device and while we at it other process may update mtu
| via sysfs). So I'm returning pppoe_hash_lock back which should eliminate a
| number of lock complains and make locking scheme easier. All-in-one: I'm
| working on it. Just need some more time.

Another status update -- the patch is under testing stage. Hope we will
reveal proper patch soon (in a few days I guess).
