IB/ipoib: Fix deadlock between rmmod and set_mode
When calling set_mode from sys/fs, the call flow locks the sys/fs lock
first and then tries to lock rtnl_lock (when calling ipoib_set_mod).
On the other hand, the rmmod call flow takes the rtnl_lock first
(when calling unregister_netdev) and then tries to take the sys/fs
lock. Deadlock a->b, b->a.
The problem starts when ipoib_set_mod frees it's rtnl_lck and tries
to get it after that.
