3.19.8-ckt6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 963ad94853000ab100f5ff19eea80095660d41b4 upstream.
Since slave_changelink support was added there have been a few race
conditions when using br_setport() since some of the port functions it
uses require the bridge lock. It is very easy to trigger a lockup due to
some internal spin_lock() usage without bh disabled, also it's possible to
get the bridge into an inconsistent state.
