net: revert RTNL changes in unregister_netdevice_many_notify()

Browse source

This patch reverts following changes:

83419b61d1 net: reduce RTNL hold duration in unregister_netdevice_many_notify() (part 2)
ae646f1a0b net: reduce RTNL hold duration in unregister_netdevice_many_notify() (part 1)
cfa579f666 net: no longer hold RTNL while calling flush_all_backlogs()

This caused issues in layers holding a private mutex:

cleanup_net()
  rtnl_lock();
	mutex_lock(subsystem_mutex);

	unregister_netdevice();

	   rtnl_unlock();		// LOCKDEP violation
	   rtnl_lock();

I will revisit this in next cycle, opt-in for the new behavior
from safe contexts only.

Fixes: cfa579f666 ("net: no longer hold RTNL while calling flush_all_backlogs()")
Fixes: ae646f1a0b ("net: reduce RTNL hold duration in unregister_netdevice_many_notify() (part 1)")
Fixes: 83419b61d1 ("net: reduce RTNL hold duration in unregister_netdevice_many_notify() (part 2)")
