[PATCH rdma-rc 4/7] IB/ipoib: Fix sysfs Pkey create<->remove possible deadlock

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

From: Shalom Lagziel <shaloml-VPRAkNaXOzVWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>

A possible ABBA lock can happen with RTNL and vlan_rwsem.
For example:

Flow A: Device Flush
	__ipoib_ib_dev_flush
	down_read(vlan_rwsem) 			// Lock A
	ipoib_flush_ah
	flush_workqueue(priv->wq) 		// Wait for completion
	A work on shared WQ (Mcast carrier)
		ipoib_mcast_carrier_on_task
		while (!rtnl_trylock())         // Wait for lock B

Flow B: Sysfs PKEY delete
	ipoib_vlan_delete
	lock(RTNL) 				// Lock B
	down_write(vlan_rwsem) 			// Wait for lock A

This can happen with PKEY creates as well. The solution is to release
the RTNL lock in sysfs functions in case it is not possible to lock
VLAN RW semaphore and reset the SYS call.

Fixes: 69956d83267e ("IB/ipoib: Sync between remove_one to sysfs calls that use rtnl_lock")
