[ Upstream commit 25175ba5c9 ]
Currently netif_addr_lock_nested assumes that there can be only
a single nesting level between 2 devices. However, if we
have multiple devices of the same type stacked, this fails.
For example:
eth0 <-- vlan0.10 <-- vlan0.10.20
A more complicated configuration may stack more then one type of
device in different order.
Ex:
eth0 <-- vlan0.10 <-- macvlan0 <-- vlan1.10.20 <-- macvlan1
This patch adds an ndo_* function that allows each stackable
device to report its nesting level. If the device doesn't
provide this function default subclass of 1 is used.
