This patch fixes the following warning:

by holding the rtnl_lock. And as we just want test if the device
has any upper device, so I think netdev_has_any_upper_dev() is enough.

This would prevent from using dev with for example vlan dev attached to
it. Is it desirable? I suppose not.

Also I think in this situation, netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu() would
be probably better to use. Not sure though.

No, it should not. I didn't notice netdev_has_any_upper_dev() could
prevent the device under vlan, I will keep
netdev_master_upper_dev_get().

Yes, as we only read it.

Thanks!
