From Linus Lüssing. 9) Avoid soft lockups in fib6_run_gc(), from Michal Kubecek. 10) Fix races in automatic address asignment on ipv6, which can result in incorrect lifetime assignments. From Jiri Benc. 11) Cure build bustage when CONFIG_NET_LL_RX_POLL is not set and rename it CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL to eliminate the last reference to the original naming of this feature. From Cong Wang. 12) Fix crash in TIPC when server socket creation fails, from Ying Xue. 13) macvlan_changelink() silently succeeds when it shouldn't, from Michael S Tsirkin. 14) HTB packet scheduler can crash due to sign extension, fix from Stephen Hemminger. 15) With the cable unplugged, r8169 prints out a message every 10 seconds, make it netif_dbg() instead of netif_warn().
