Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: reinstate rtnl in call_netdevice_notifiers()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Eric Biederman pointed out that not holding RTNL while calling
call_netdevice_notifiers() was racy.

This patch is a direct transcription his feedback
against commit 0115e8e30d6fc (net: remove delay at device dismantle)

Thanks Eric !

Note: After this patch, it seems less risky to push these fixes for 3.6,
since notifiers have the guarantee that RTNL is held.
