Subject: [PATCH 3.14 082/140] net: Allow for more then a single subclass for netif_addr_lock

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit 25175ba5c9bff9aaf0229df34bb5d54c81633ec3 ]

Currently netif_addr_lock_nested assumes that there can be only
a single nesting level between 2 devices.  However, if we
have multiple devices of the same type stacked, this fails.
For example:
 eth0 <-- vlan0.10 <-- vlan0.10.20

A more complicated configuration may stack more then one type of
device in different order.
Ex:
  eth0 <-- vlan0.10 <-- macvlan0 <-- vlan1.10.20 <-- macvlan1

This patch adds an ndo_* function that allows each stackable
device to report its nesting level.  If the device doesn't
provide this function default subclass of 1 is used.
