Marc Zyngier c8101f7729 net: dsa: Fix lockdep false positive splat
Creating a macvtap on a DSA-backed interface results in the following
splat when lockdep is enabled:

This looks fairly harmless (no actual deadlock occurs), and is
fixed in a similar way to c6894dec8e ("bridge: fix lockdep
addr_list_lock false positive splat") by putting the addr_list_lock
in its own lockdep class.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
