It seems the original needlessly bloated out the patch size by
swapping the order of tipc_bearer_find_interface & bearer_find
in the file (now fixed) - and you are right, the locking change
wasn't properly covered in the commit log.  The extra test you'd
suggested tossing out is also now gone.

This change doesn't explicitly depend on any other changes,
so if it is now OK, the option is there for it to be applied
independently of the others that haven't been reworked yet.

Thanks,
Paul.

Subject: [PATCH] tipc: Simplify bearer shutdown logic

Optimize processing in TIPC's bearer shutdown code, including:

1. Remove an unnecessary check to see if TIPC bearer's can exist.
2. Don't release spinlocks before calling a media-specific disabling
routine, since the routine can't sleep.
3. Make bearer_disable() operate directly on a struct bearer, instead
of needlessly taking a name and then mapping that to the struct.
