Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net: macb: reduce scope of rx_fs_lock-protected regions

Commit ae8223de3df5 ("net: macb: Added support for RX filtering")
introduces a lock, rx_fs_lock which is intended to protect the list of
rx_flow items and synchronize access to the hardware rx filtering
registers.

However, the region protected by this lock is overscoped, unnecessarily
including things like slab allocation.  Reduce this lock scope to only
include operations which must be performed atomically: list traversal,
addition, and removal, and hitting the macb filtering registers.

This fixes the use of kmalloc w/ GFP_KERNEL in atomic context.

While Julia Lawall's cocci-generated patch fixes the problem, the right
solution is to obviate the problem altogether.

Thanks,
