[ Upstream commit 871127e6ab0d6abb904cec81fc022baf6953be1f ]

Use the various netif_level() helpers to simplify the C code.  This was
suggested by Joe Perches.

There isn't an actual change here.

Unless this is a precursor to another patch, this isn't anything
that should go into stable.

It is a dependancy for other fixes.

Then it's useful/necessary to mark it as such when applying it.

That's hard/difficult/messy to do :)
