All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps
for the Thunder driver.

That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending
a message to the hardware.  If that fails it returns an
error.

Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those
are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically.
But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has
to stay.

However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original
MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if
an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change.
Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original
MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue.

- * Revised TIPC socket locking policy:
- *
- * Most socket operations take the standard socket lock when they start
- * and hold it until they finish (or until they need to sleep).  Acquiring
- * this lock grants the owner exclusive access to the fields of the socket
- * data structures, with the exception of the backlog queue.  A few socket
- * operations can be done without taking the socket lock because they only
- * read socket information that never changes during the life of the socket.
- *
- * Socket operations may acquire the lock for the associated TIPC port if they
- * need to perform an operation on the port.  If any routine needs to acquire
- * both the socket lock and the port lock it must take the socket lock first
- * to avoid the risk of deadlock.
- *
- * The dispatcher handling incoming messages cannot grab the socket lock in
- * the standard fashion, since invoked it runs at the BH level and cannot block.
- * Instead, it checks to see if the socket lock is currently owned by someone,
- * and either handles the message itself or adds it to the socket's backlog
- * queue; in the latter case the queued message is processed once the process
- * owning the socket lock releases it.
- *
- * NOTE: Releasing the socket lock while an operation is sleeping overcomes
- * the problem of a blocked socket operation preventing any other operations
- * from occurring.  However, applications must be careful if they have
- * multiple threads trying to send (or receive) on the same socket, as these
- * operations might interfere with each other.  For example, doing a connect
- * and a receive at the same time might allow the receive to consume the
- * ACK message meant for the connect.  While additional work could be done
- * to try and overcome this, it doesn't seem to be worthwhile at the present.
- *
- * NOTE: Releasing the socket lock while an operation is sleeping also ensures
- * that another operation that must be performed in a non-blocking manner is
- * not delayed for very long because the lock has already been taken.
- *
- * NOTE: This code assumes that certain fields of a port/socket pair are
- * constant over its lifetime; such fields can be examined without taking
- * the socket lock and/or port lock, and do not need to be re-read even
- * after resuming processing after waiting.  These fields include:
- *   - socket type
- *   - pointer to socket sk structure (aka tipc_sock structure)
- *   - pointer to port structure
- *   - port reference
