Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/7] net: sfp: swap order of rtnl and st_mutex locks

Swap the order of the rtnl and st_mutex locks - st_mutex is now nested
beneath rtnl lock instead of rtnl being beneath st_mutex. This will
allow us to hold st_mutex only while manipulating the module's hardware
or software control state.
