Eric Dumazet e759e1e4a4 net: revert RTNL changes in unregister_netdevice_many_notify() 
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)")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
