Pull networking fixes from David Miller:

 1) Clear congestion control state when changing algorithms on an
    existing socket, from Florian Westphal.

 2) Fix register bit values in altr_tse_pcs portion of stmmac driver,
    from Jia Jie Ho.

 3) Fix PTP handling in stammc driver for GMAC4, from Giuseppe
    CAVALLARO.

 4) Fix udplite multicast delivery handling, it ignores the udp_table
    parameter passed into the lookups, from Pablo Neira Ayuso.

 5) Synchronize the space estimated by rtnl_vfinfo_size and the space
    actually used by rtnl_fill_vfinfo. From Sabrina Dubroca.

 6) Fix memory leak in fib_info when splitting nodes, from Alexander
    Duyck.

 7) If a driver does a napi_hash_del() explicitily and not via
    netif_napi_del(), it must perform RCU synchronization as needed. Fix
    this in virtio-net and bnxt drivers, from Eric Dumazet.

 8) Likewise, it is not necessary to invoke napi_hash_del() is we are
    also doing neif_napi_del() in the same code path. Remove such calls
    from be2net and cxgb4 drivers, also from Eric Dumazet.

 9) Don't allocate an ID in peernet2id_alloc() if the netns is dead,
    from WANG Cong.

10) Fix OF node and device struct leaks in of_mdio, from Johan Hovold.

11) We cannot cache routes in ip6_tunnel when using inherited traffic
    classes, from Paolo Abeni.

12) Fix several crashes and leaks in cpsw driver, from Johan Hovold.

13) Splice operations cannot use freezable blocking calls in AF_UNIX,
    from WANG Cong.

14) Link dump filtering by master device and kind support added an error
    in loop index updates during the dump if we actually do filter, fix
    from Zhang Shengju.

- * 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
