it's using an zero-initialized spinlock. This is a side-effect of:
dev_unicast_init(dev);
in alloc_netdev_mq() making use of dev->addr_list_lock.
The device has just been allocated freshly, it's not accessible
anywhere yet so no locking is needed at all - in fact it's wrong
to lock it here (the lock isnt initialized yet).
