net: let lockdep compare instance locks
AFAIU always returning -1 from lockdep's compare function
basically disables checking of dependencies between given
locks. Try to be a little more precise about what guarantees
that instance locks won't deadlock.
Right now we only nest them under protection of rtnl_lock.
Mostly in unregister_netdevice_many() and dev_close_many().
