From: Moni Shoua <monis@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
The function eth_link_query_port() used to take the RTNL lock when
call to netdev_master_upper_dev_get() was necessary. This makes it
impossible to call this function with RTNL lock is held. Calling
netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu() and locking with RCU instead solve
this problem.
