Subject: [PATCH 4.4 039/100] IB/ipoib: Fix lockdep issue found on ipoib_ib_dev_heavy_flush

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

commit 1f80bd6a6cc8358b81194e1f5fc16449947396ec upstream.

The locking order of vlan_rwsem (LOCK A) and then rtnl (LOCK B),
contradicts other flows such as ipoib_open possibly causing a deadlock.
To prevent this deadlock heavy flush is called with RTNL locked and
only then tries to acquire vlan_rwsem.
This deadlock is possible only when there are child interfaces.
