Avoid that the following compiler warning is reported when building
with W=1:

include/linux/netdevice.h: In function 'netif_addr_lock_nested':
include/linux/netdevice.h:2865:6: warning: variable 'subclass' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
  int subclass = SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING;
      ^

This patch does not change any functionality.

This has already been discussed.

The spin_lock_nested() with your configuration should be adjusted to
mark the argument as used.

There is nothing wrong with this code, it should not warn, it's
simply the spin locking macros that need to be fixed.

I'm not applying this patch, sorry.
