Subject: [PATCH 0/4] dev_open() and dev_close() require RTNL

dev_open() and dev_close() clearly require the RTNL, but this isn't
commented or asserted.  The following series adds assertions and fixes
three drivers that call dev_close() without holding the RTNL.  The
driver changes are only compile-tested.

Ben.
