Subject: [PATCH net] net: fix the missing unlock for detached devices

The combined condition was left as is when we converted
from __dev_get_by_index() to netdev_get_by_index_lock().
There was no need to undo anything with the former, for
the latter we need an unlock.

Fixes: 1d22d3060b9b ("net: drop rtnl_lock for queue_mgmt operations")
