[PATCH 3.11 067/131] 6lowpan: fix lockdep splats

3.11.10.6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet at google.com>

commit 20e7c4e80dcd01dad5e6c8b32455228b8fe9c619 upstream.

When a device ndo_start_xmit() calls again dev_queue_xmit(),
lockdep can complain because dev_queue_xmit() is re-entered and the
spinlocks protecting tx queues share a common lockdep class.

Same issue was fixed for bonding/l2tp/ppp in commits

0daa2303028a6 ("[PATCH] bonding: lockdep annotation")
49ee49202b4ac ("bonding: set qdisc_tx_busylock to avoid LOCKDEP splat")
23d3b8bfb8eb2 ("net: qdisc busylock needs lockdep annotations ")
303c07db487be ("ppp: set qdisc_tx_busylock to avoid LOCKDEP splat ")
