Subject: [PATCH v5 net-next 03/16] net: procfs: hold netif_lists_lock when retrieving device statistics

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@....com>

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 /proc/net/dev file uses an RCU read-side critical section to ensure
the integrity of the list of network interfaces, because it iterates
through all net devices in the netns to show their statistics.

To offer the equivalent protection against an interface registering or
deregistering, while also remaining in sleepable context, we can use the
netns mutex for the interface lists.
