Perhaps this is clearer as:

void dev_mc_unsync(struct net_device *to, struct net_device *from)
{
	struct dev_addr_list *da;

	netif_tx_lock_bh(from);
	netif_tx_lock_bh(to);

	da = from->mc_list;
	while (da) {
		if (da->da_synced) {
			__dev_addr_delete(&to->mc_list, &to->mc_count,
					  da->da_addr, da->da_addrlen, 0);
			__dev_addr_delete(&from->mc_list, &from->mc_count,
					  da->da_addr, da->da_addrlen, 0);
			da->da_synced = 0;
		}
		da = da->next;
	}

	__dev_set_rx_mode(to);

	netif_tx_unlock_bh(to);
	netif_tx_unlock_bh(from);
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(dev_mc_unsync);
