====================
net: bring back dev_addr_sem

Kohei reports an issue with dev_addr_sem conversion to netdev instance
lock in [0]. Based on the discussion, switching to netdev instance
lock to protect the address might not work for the devices that
are not using netdev ops lock.
Bring dev_addr_sem instance lock back but fix the ordering.
