These, and probably most or all of the recent LORs involving network
driver, have the same cause as LOR #148.  The lock order reported in
#148 is incorrect, but it was only detected by witness when I added
jhb's patch to the witness code.  It is triggered by adding the
DEVICE_POLLING kernel option.  This particular reversal introduces a
loop into the lock ordering, and without the witness patch, witness only
detects the reversal when the loop is finally closed by code that grabs
a lock in the correct order, and with the previous lock happens to
traverse the final edge of the loop.
