Subject: [PATCH 1/3] rtnetlink: add guard for RTNL

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

The new guard/scoped_gard can be useful for the RTNL as well,
so add a guard definition for it. It gets used like

 {
   guard(rtnl)();
   // RTNL held until end of block
 }

or

  scoped_guard(rtnl) {
    // RTNL held in this block
  }

as with any other guard/scoped_guard.
