Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 026/165] team: don't traverse port list using rcu in team_set_mac_address

3.16.7-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@...nulli.us>

commit 9215f437b85da339a7dfe3db6e288637406f88b2 upstream.

Currently the list is traversed using rcu variant. That is not correct
since dev_set_mac_address can be called which eventually calls
rtmsg_ifinfo_build_skb and there, skb allocation can sleep. So fix this
by remove the rcu usage here.

Fixes: 3d249d4ca7 "net: introduce ethernet teaming device"
