ipv6: frags: fix a lockdep false positive
lockdep does not know that the locks used by IPv4 defrag and IPv6 reassembly units are of different classes. It complains because of following chains : 1) sch_direct_xmit() (lock txq->_xmit_lock) dev_hard_start_xmit() xmit_one() dev_queue_xmit_nit() packet_rcv_fanout() ip_check_defrag() ip_defrag() spin_lock() (lock frag queue spinlock) 2) ip6_input_finish() ipv6_frag_rcv() (lock frag queue spinlock) ip6_frag_queue() icmpv6_param_prob() (lock txq->_xmit_lock at some point) We could add lockdep annotations, but we also can make sure IPv6 calls icmpv6_param_prob() only after the release of the frag queue spinlock, since this naturally makes frag queue spinlock a leaf in lock hierarchy.
