Subject: [PATCH] igb: revert rtnl_lock() that causes deadlock

The commit 6faee3d4ee8b ("igb: Add lock to avoid data race") adds
rtnl_lock to eliminate a false data race shown below

 (FREE from device detaching)      |   (USE from netdev core)
igb_remove                         |  igb_ndo_get_vf_config
 igb_disable_sriov                 |  vf >= adapter->vfs_allocated_count?
  kfree(adapter->vf_data)          |
  adapter->vfs_allocated_count = 0 |
                                   |    memcpy(... adapter->vf_data[vf]

The above race will never happen and the extra rtnl_lock causes deadlock
below

Since the igb_disable_sriov() will call pci_disable_sriov() before
releasing any resources, the netdev core will synchronize the cleanup to
avoid any races. This patch removes the useless rtnl_(un)lock to guarantee
correctness.
