Pull networking fixes from Paolo Abeni:
"Including fixes from can, netfilter.
Current release - regressions:
- core: fix splice_to_socket() for O_NONBLOCK socket
- af_unix: fix fortify_panic() in unix_bind_bsd().
- can: raw: fix lockdep issue in raw_release()
Previous releases - regressions:
- tcp: reduce chance of collisions in inet6_hashfn().
- netfilter: skip immediate deactivate in _PREPARE_ERROR
- tipc: stop tipc crypto on failure in tipc_node_create
- eth: igc: fix kernel panic during ndo_tx_timeout callback
- eth: iavf: fix potential deadlock on allocation failure
Previous releases - always broken:
- ipv6: fix bug where deleting a mngtmpaddr can create a new
temporary address
- eth: ice: fix memory management in ice_ethtool_fdir.c
- eth: hns3: fix the imp capability bit cannot exceed 32 bits issue
- eth: vxlan: calculate correct header length for GPE
- eth: stmmac: apply redundant write work around on 4.xx too"
