Subject: [PATCH net] ravb: Fix races between ravb_tx_timeout_work() and net related ops

Fix races between ravb_tx_timeout_work() and functions of net_device_ops
and ethtool_ops by using rtnl_trylock() and rtnl_unlock(). Note that
since ravb_close() is under the rtnl lock and calls cancel_work_sync(),
ravb_tx_timeout_work() calls rtnl_trylock() to avoid a deadlock.

Fixes: c156633f1353 ("Renesas Ethernet AVB driver proper")
