#1214879 — [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 114/130] bridge: netlink: fix slave_changelink/br_setport race conditions

3.19.8-ckt6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com>

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.
