Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 2/4] bridge: vlan: use rcu for vlan_list traversal in br_fill_ifinfo

From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@...ulusnetworks.com>

br_fill_ifinfo is called by br_ifinfo_notify which can be called from
many contexts with different locks held, sometimes it relies upon
bridge's spinlock only which is a problem for the vlan code, so use
explicitly rcu for that to avoid problems.
