Good point, and it's true for other uses also - bond_arp_send_all(), for
example, will also miss anything that's higher than the first upper level.

I can't think of a use case scenario when we would need only the first
upper level - so maybe we should either make netdev_for_each_upper_dev()
recursive by default (I don't know how it can be done easily, tbh, without
modifying the existing code), or add something like:

How do you think?
