Subject: [PATCH net v4] 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() should calls rtnl_trylock(). Otherwise, a deadlock
may happen in ravb_tx_timeout_work() like below:

CPU0			CPU1
			ravb_tx_timeout()
			schedule_work()
...
__dev_close_many()
// Under rtnl lock
ravb_close()
cancel_work_sync()
// Waiting
			ravb_tx_timeout_work()
			rtnl_lock()
			// This is possible to cause a deadlock

If rtnl_trylock() fails, rescheduling the work with sleep for 1 msec.

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

Changes from v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20231115022644.2316961-1-yoshihiro.shimoda.uh@renesas.com/
 - Based on v2 patch. This means that delayed work is not used.
 - Add rescheduling the work if rtnl_trylock() fails.
 - Drop Reviewed-by tags because implementation was changed.

Changes from v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20231019113308.1133944-1-yoshihiro.shimoda.uh@renesas.com/
 - Add rescheduling if rtnl_trylock() fails and the netif is still running
   and update commit description for it.
 - Add Reviewed-by tags.
