[PATCH rdma-rc 2/2] IB/ipoib: Fix lockdep issue found on ipoib_ib_dev_heavy_flush

[Leon Romanovsky <leon-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>]

From: Alex Vesker <valex-VPRAkNaXOzVWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>

The locking order of vlan_rwsem (LOCK A) and then rtnl (LOCK B),
contradicts other flows such as ipoib_open possibly causing a deadlock.
To prevent this deadlock heavy flush is called with RTNL locked and
only then tries to acquire vlan_rwsem.
This deadlock is possible only when there are child interfaces.
