Commit
c6d14c84566d (net: Introduce for_each_netdev_rcu() iterator)
added a race in dev_seq_next().
The rcu_dereference() call should be done _before_ testing the end of
list, or we might return a wrong net_device if a concurrent thread
changes net_device list under us.
Note : discovered thanks to a sparse warning :
net/core/dev.c:3919:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression
(different address spaces)
