Taehee Yoo 63ed8de4be mld: add mc_lock for protecting per-interface mld data
The purpose of this lock is to avoid a bottleneck in the query/report
event handler logic.

By previous patches, almost all mld data is protected by RTNL.
So, the query and report event handler, which is data path logic
acquires RTNL too. Therefore if a lot of query and report events
are received, it uses RTNL for a long time.
So it makes the control-plane bottleneck because of using RTNL.
In order to avoid this bottleneck, mc_lock is added.

mc_lock protect only per-interface mld data and per-interface mld
data is used in the query/report event handler logic.
So, no longer rtnl_lock is needed in the query/report event handler logic.
Therefore bottleneck will be disappeared by mc_lock.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
