This should be fixed when net is synced with net-next by the
following commit,

author		John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com>
committer	Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>
commit		85328240c625f322af9f69c7b60e619717101d77

net: allow netdev_all_upper_get_next_dev_rcu with rtnl lock held

It is useful to be able to walk all upper devices when bringing a device 
online where the RTNL lock is held. In this case it is safe to walk the 
all_adj_list because the RTNL lock is used to protect the write side as 
well.

Thanks,
John
