Subject: [PATCH net 3/4] ice: Fix deadlock on the rtnl_mutex

From: Mateusz Palczewski <mateusz.palczewski@...el.com>

There is a deadlock on rtnl_mutex when attempting to take the lock
in unregister_netdev() after it has already been taken by
ethnl_set_channels(). This happened when unregister_netdev() was
called inside of ice_vsi_rebuild().
Fix that by removing the unregister_netdev() usage and replace it with
ice_vsi_clear_rings() that deallocates the tx and rx rings for the VSI.

Fixes: df0f847915b4 ("ice: Move common functions out of ice_main.c part 6/7")
