Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/netHEADmaster

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Fix rtnl deadlock in ipvs, from Julian Anastasov.

 2) s390 qeth fixes from Julian Wiedmann (control IO completion stalls,
    bad MAC address update sequence, request side races on command IO
    timeouts).

 3) Handle seq_file overflow properly in l2tp, from Guillaume Nault.

 4) Fix VLAN priority mappings in cpsw driver, from Ivan Khoronzhuk.

 5) Packet scheduler ife action fixes (malformed TLV lengths, etc.) from
    Alexander Aring.

 6) Fix out of bounds access in tcp md5 option parser, from Jann Horn.

 7) Missing netlink attribute policies in rtm_ipv6_policy table, from
    Eric Dumazet.

 8) Missing socket address length checks in l2tp and pppoe connect, from
    Guillaume Nault.

 9) Fix netconsole over team and bonding, from Xin Long.

10) Fix race with AF_PACKET socket state bitfields, from Willem de
    Bruijn.
