[ Upstream commit 53d374979ef147ab51f5d632dfe20b14aebeccd0 ]
syzbot reported some bogus lockdep warnings, for example bad unlock
balance in sch_direct_xmit(). They are due to a race condition between
slow path and fast path, that is qdisc_xmit_lock_key gets re-registered
in netdev_update_lockdep_key() on slow path, while we could still
acquire the queue->_xmit_lock on fast path in this small window:
CPU A CPU B
__netif_tx_lock();
lockdep_unregister_key(qdisc_xmit_lock_key);
__netif_tx_unlock();
lockdep_register_key(qdisc_xmit_lock_key);
In fact, unlike the addr_list_lock which has to be reordered when
the master/slave device relationship changes, queue->_xmit_lock is
only acquired on fast path and only when NETIF_F_LLTX is not set,
so there is likely no nested locking for it.
Therefore, we can just get rid of re-registration of
qdisc_xmit_lock_key.
