3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 20e6074eb8e096b3a595c093d1cb222f378cd671 ]

Dave Jones reported a lockdep splat triggered by an arp_process() call
from parp_redo().

Commit faa9dcf793be (arp: RCU changes) is the origin of the bug, since
it assumed arp_process() was called under rcu_read_lock(), which is not
true in this particular path.

Instead of adding rcu_read_lock() in parp_redo(), I chose to add it in
neigh_proxy_process() to take care of IPv6 side too.

===================================================
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]
---------------------------------------------------
include/linux/inetdevice.h:209 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without
protection!

other info that might help us debug this:
