Subject: [PATCH net] af_packet: move notifier's packet_dev_mc out of rcu critical section

Calling `PACKET_ADD_MEMBERSHIP` on an ops-locked device can trigger
the `NETDEV_UNREGISTER` notifier, which may require disabling promiscuous
and/or allmulti mode. Both of these operations require acquiring the netdev
instance lock. Move the call to `packet_dev_mc` outside of the RCU critical
section.

Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=b191b5ccad8d7a986286
Reported-by: syzbot+b191b5ccad8d7a986286@...kaller.appspotmail.com
Fixes: ad7c7b2172c3 ("net: hold netdev instance lock during sysfs operations")
