IB/ipoib: Fix sysfs Pkey create<->remove possible deadlock
A possible ABBA lock can happen with RTNL and vlan_rwsem.
For example:
Flow A: Device Flush
__ipoib_ib_dev_flush
down_read(vlan_rwsem) // Lock A
ipoib_flush_ah
flush_workqueue(priv->wq) // Wait for completion
A work on shared WQ (Mcast carrier)
ipoib_mcast_carrier_on_task
while (!rtnl_trylock()) // Wait for lock B
Flow B: Sysfs PKEY delete
ipoib_vlan_delete
lock(RTNL) // Lock B
down_write(vlan_rwsem) // Wait for lock A
This can happen with PKEY creates as well. The solution is to release
the RTNL lock in sysfs functions in case it is not possible to lock
VLAN RW semaphore and reset the SYS call.
