IB/usnic: Fix potential deadlock
Acquiring the rtnl lock while holding usdev_lock could result in a
deadlock.
For example:
usnic_ib_query_port()
| mutex_lock(&us_ibdev->usdev_lock)
| ib_get_eth_speed()
| rtnl_lock()
rtnl_lock()
| usnic_ib_netdevice_event()
| mutex_lock(&us_ibdev->usdev_lock)
This commit moves the usdev_lock acquisition after the rtnl lock has been
released.
This is safe to do because usdev_lock is not protecting anything being
accessed in ib_get_eth_speed(). Hence, the correct order of holding locks
(rtnl -> usdev_lock) is not violated.
