[ Upstream commit 7151affeef8d527f50b4b68a871fd28bd660023f ]
netdev_next_lower_dev_rcu() will be used to implement a function,
which is to walk all lower interfaces.
There are already functions that they walk their lower interface.
(netdev_walk_all_lower_dev_rcu, netdev_walk_all_lower_dev()).
But, there would be cases that couldn't be covered by given
netdev_walk_all_lower_dev_{rcu}() function.
So, some modules would want to implement own function,
which is to walk all lower interfaces.
In the next patch, netdev_next_lower_dev_rcu() will be used.
In addition, this patch removes two unused prototypes in netdevice.h.

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.
