Merge branch 'net-reduce-rtnl-pressure-in-unregister_netdevice'

Eric Dumazet says:

====================
net: reduce RTNL pressure in unregister_netdevice()

One major source of RTNL contention resides in unregister_netdevice()

Due to RCU protection of various network structures, and
unregister_netdevice() being a synchronous function,
it is calling potentially slow functions while holding RTNL.

I think we can release RTNL in two points, so that three
slow functions are called while RTNL can be used
by other threads.
