Florian Westphal says:

====================
addrlabel: don't use rtnl locking

addrlabel doesn't appear to require rtnl lock as the addrlabel
table uses a spinlock to serialize add/delete operations.

Also, entries are reference counted so it should be safe
to call the rtnl ops without the rtnl mutex.
