Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 154/156] IB/ipoib: Grab rtnl lock on heavy
 flush when calling ndo_open/stop

From: Alex Vesker <valex@...lanox.com>

[ Upstream commit b4b678b06f6eef18bff44a338c01870234db0bc9 ]

When ndo_open and ndo_stop are called RTNL lock should be held.
In this specific case ipoib_ib_dev_open calls the offloaded ndo_open
which re-sets the number of TX queue assuming RTNL lock is held.
Since RTNL lock is not held, RTNL assert will fail.
