[ Upstream commit c8101f7729daee251f4f6505f9d135ec08e1342f ]

Creating a macvtap on a DSA-backed interface results in the following
splat when lockdep is enabled:

This looks fairly harmless (no actual deadlock occurs), and is
fixed in a similar way to c6894dec8ea9 ("bridge: fix lockdep
addr_list_lock false positive splat") by putting the addr_list_lock
in its own lockdep class.
