Subject: [PATCH net] caif-hsi: fix possible deadlock in cfhsi_exit_module()

cfhsi_exit_module() calls unregister_netdev() under rtnl_lock().
but unregister_netdev() internally calls rtnl_lock().
So deadlock would occur.

Fixes: c41254006377 ("caif-hsi: Add rtnl support")

I did only compile test because I don't have the testbed.
Could anyone test this patch?
