Hmm, it seems addr_list_lock is not initialized at the right place...

commit a6ac65db addded a netif_addr_lock_bh() in dev_unicast_init()

We initialize dev->addr_list_lock in register_netdevice(), we should
init it earlier, right after allocation and before dev_unicast_init()

But dev->type being 0, we probably cannot call netdev_set_addr_lockdep_class()
at this point...

David, what do you think ? Is it safe to call netdev_set_addr_lockdep_class()
in register_netdevice(), after lock being used one time in dev_unicast_init() ?

Thank you

[PATCH] net: Init dev->addr_list_lock in alloc_netdev_mq()

We initialize dev->addr_list_lock in register_netdevice(), we should
init it earlier, right after allocation and before dev_unicast_init()
