Subject: [PATCH net] net: add missing instance lock to dev_set_promiscuity

Accidentally spotted while trying to understand what else needs
to be renamed to netif_ prefix. Most of the calls to dev_set_promiscuity
are adjacent to dev_set_allmulti or dev_disable_lro so it should
be safe to add the lock. Note that new netif_set_promiscuity is
currently unused, the locked paths call __dev_set_promiscuity directly.

Fixes: ad7c7b2172c3 ("net: hold netdev instance lock during sysfs operations")
