[PATCH 4.4 31/62] net: qmi_wwan: should hold RTNL while changing netdev type

From: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no>

[ Upstream commit 6c730080e663b1d629f8aa89348291fbcdc46cd9 ]

The notifier calls were thrown in as a last-minute fix for an
imagined "this device could be part of a bridge" problem. That
revealed a certain lack of locking. Not to mention testing...

Avoid this splat:
