I think I should correct the statement here, " taking rtnl_lock()
before clearing tls_devops and device flags". There won't be any
synchronization issue while clearing tls_devops now, because I
am incrementing module refcount of CRYPTO ULD, so this will
never be called if there is any connection (new connection
request) exists.
