commit 56a49d7048703f5ffdb84d3a0ee034108fba6850 upstream. This fix addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201071 Commit 5025f7f7d506 wrongly relied on __dev_change_flags to notify users of dev flag changes in the case when dev->rtnl_link_state = RTNL_LINK_INITIALIZED. Fix it by indicating flag changes explicitly to __dev_notify_flags.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
