afer a successful add/del.
Fix both cases by initializing all unset members/padding bytes with

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Add an ability to configure a separate "untagged" egress

policy and makes PVID ingress-only. The policy is configured with a
new flag and is represented as a port bitmap per vlan. Egress frames
with a VLAN id in "untagged" policy bitmap would egress

__netpoll_rcu_free is used to free netpoll structures when the rtnl_lock is
already held. The mechanism is used to asynchronously call __netpoll_cleanup
outside of the holding of the rtnl_lock, so as to avoid deadlock.
Unfortunately, __netpoll_cleanup modifies pointers (dev->np), which means the
rtnl_lock must be held while calling it. Further, it cannot be held, because
rcu callbacks may be issued in softirq contexts, which cannot sleep.
Fix this by converting the rcu callback to a work queue that is guaranteed to
get scheduled in process context, so that we can hold the rtnl properly while
calling __netpoll_cleanup
Tested successfully by myself.

bridge: Do not unregister all PF_BRIDGE rtnl operations
introduced a bug where a removal of a single bridge from a
multi-bridge system would remove MDB netlink handlers.
The handlers should only be removed once all bridges are gone, but
since we don't keep track of the number of bridge interfaces, it's
simpler to do it when the bridge module is unloaded. To make it
consistent, move the registration code into module initialization
code path.

Why would you want to do this?
If using STP on a bridge and the downstream bridges are not fully

Expose bridge port parameter over netlink. By switching to a nested
message, this can be used for other bridge parameters.
This changes IFLA_PROTINFO attribute from one byte to a full nested
set of attributes. This is safe for application interface because the
old message used IFLA_PROTINFO and new one uses
IFLA_PROTINFO | NLA_F_NESTED.
The code adapts to old format requests, and therefore stays
compatible with user mode RSTP daemon. Since the type field
for nested and unnested attributes are different, and the old
code in libnetlink doesn't do the mask, it is also safe to use
with old versions of bridge monitor command.
Note: although mode is only a boolean, treating it as a
full byte since in the future someone will probably want to add more
values (like macvlan has).
