3.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 303c07db487be59ae9fda10600ea65ca11c21497 ]
If a qdisc is installed on a ppp device, its possible to get
a lockdep splat under stress, because nested dev_queue_xmit() can
lock busylock a second time (on a different device, so its a false
positive)
Avoid this problem using a distinct lock_class_key for ppp
devices.
