Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 06/13] net_failover: hold the netdev lists lock when retrieving device statistics
In the effort of making .ndo_get_stats64 be able to sleep, we need to
ensure the callers of dev_get_stats do not use atomic context.
The net_failover driver makes copious abuse of RCU protection for the
slave interfaces, which is probably unnecessary given the fact that it
already calls dev_hold on slave interfaces. Nonetheless, to avoid
regressions, we still need to offer the same level of protection against
unregistering the standby and primary devices. We can achieve this by
holding the netns mutex, which gives us the sleepable context that
dev_get_stats() wants to see. Holding this mutex also removes the need
for a separate lock for statistics.
