802: fix a possible race condition
(Resend with a better changelog) garp_pdu_queue() should ways be called with this spin lock. garp_uninit_applicant() only holds rtnl lock which is not enough here. A possible race can happen as garp_pdu_rcv() is called in BH context: garp_pdu_rcv() |->garp_pdu_parse_msg() |->garp_pdu_parse_attr() |-> garp_gid_event() Found by code inspection.
