[PATCH net v2 0/2] net: fix lockdep false positive splat

[Taehee Yoo <ap420073@gmail.com>]

This patchset is to fix lockdep false positive splat in multicast part of
the bridge.

When mdb or multicast config is changed, it acquires multicast_lock,
which is a per-interface(bridge) lock.
So, spin_lock_nested() should be used instead of spin_lock() because
interfaces can be recursive.
The spin_lock_nested() needs 'subclass' parameter.

The first patch adds a new helper function, which returns the nest_level
variable under RCU. The nest_level variable can be used as 'subclass'
parameter of spin_lock_nested().
The second patch fix lockdep false positive splat in the bridge multicast
part by using netdev_get_nest_level_rcu().

v2:
 - Remove dupliate Subject
