Subject: [PATCH 4/4] sky2: rtnl_lock out of loop will be faster
[PATCH 4/4] [NETDEV] sky2: rtnl_lock out of loop will be faster
Before this patch, it gets and releases the lock at each
iteration of the loop. Changing unregister_netdev to
unregister_netdevice and locking outside of the loop will
be faster for this approach.
