commit fb745e9a037895 ("net/802/mrp: fix possible race condition when
calling mrp_pdu_queue()") introduced a lockdep splat.

<title>net/802/mrp: fix possible race condition when calling mrp_pdu_queue()</title>

(Adapted from a very similar change to net/802/garp.c by Cong Wang.)

mrp_pdu_queue() should ways be called with the applicant spin lock.
mrp_uninit_applicant() only holds the rtnl lock which is not enough;
a race is possible because mrp_rcv() is called in BH context:

	mrp_rcv()
	  |-&gt;mrp_pdu_parse_msg()
	    |-&gt;mrp_pdu_parse_vecattr()
	      |-&gt;mrp_pdu_parse_vecattr_event()
	        |-&gt; mrp_attr_event()
	          |-&gt; mrp_pdu_append_vecattr_event()
	            |-&gt; mrp_pdu_queue()

This represents the mass deletion of the of the tokenring support.

It gets rid of:
  - the net/tr.c which the drivers depended on
  - the drivers/net component
  - the Kbuild infrastructure around it
  - any tokenring related CONFIG_ settings in any defconfigs
  - the tokenring headers in the include/linux dir
  - the firmware associated with the tokenring drivers.
  - any associated token ring documentation.

<title>net: delete all instances of special processing for token ring</title>

<id>211ed865108e24697b44bee5daac502ee6bdd4a4</id>
<content type='text'>
We are going to delete the Token ring support.  This removes any
special processing in the core networking for token ring, (aside
from net/tr.c itself), leaving the drivers and remaining tokenring
support present but inert.

The mass removal of the drivers and net/tr.c will be in a separate
commit, so that the history of these files that we still care
about won't have the giant deletion tied into their history.

This results in code with less boiler plate that is a bit easier
to read.

Additionally stops us from using compatibility code in the sysctl
core, hastening the day when the compatibility code can be removed.

This makes it clearer which sysctls are relative to your current network
namespace.

This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the
initial network namespace in other namespaces.

This is the same way we handle all of our other network interfaces to
userspace and I can't honestly remember why we didn't do this for
sysctls right from the start.
