Cong Wang e8280338c7 net: explain the lockdep annotations for dev_uc_unsync()
The lockdep annotations for dev_uc_unsync() and dev_mc_unsync()
are not easy to understand, so add some comments to explain
why they are correct.

Similar for the rest netif_addr_lock_bh() cases, they don't
need nested version.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
