I clearly see the problem, but don't agree with a solution.

This is exactly the problem, every driver guesses if rtnl_lock is needed
or not in specific path. It is wrong by design. You should ensure that
all paths that are triggered through rtnl should hold rtnl_lock.

You dropped rtnl_lock() without any protection, it is 100% bug.
