Subject: [PATCH 4.4 087/158] caif-hsi: fix possible deadlock in cfhsi_exit_module()

From: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit fdd258d49e88a9e0b49ef04a506a796f1c768a8e ]

cfhsi_exit_module() calls unregister_netdev() under rtnl_lock().
but unregister_netdev() internally calls rtnl_lock().
So deadlock would occur.

Fixes: c41254006377 ("caif-hsi: Add rtnl support")
