Subject: [PATCH 3.16 43/47] caif-hsi: fix possible deadlock in
 cfhsi_exit_module()

3.16.76-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

commit fdd258d49e88a9e0b49ef04a506a796f1c768a8e upstream.

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")
