Huh! That's not the version of the commit I remember - it had an
rtnl_lock() in there too (just before the mutex_lock)?! Looks like that
should really be there, not sure how/where it got lost along the way.

That unbalanced rtnl_unlock() makes no sense anyway. Wonder why it
doesn't cause more assertions/problems at that point, clearly it's
unbalanced. Pretty sure it's missing the rtnl_lock() earlier in the
function for some reason.

Luca and I will look at it tomorrow, getting late here, sorry.
