[PATCH net v2] ptp: prevent possible ABBA deadlock in ptp_clock_freerun()

[Jeongjun Park <aha310510@gmail.com>]

ABBA deadlock occurs in the following scenario:

       CPU0                           CPU1
       ----                           ----
  n_vclocks_store()
    lock(&ptp->n_vclocks_mux) [1]
                                     pc_clock_adjtime()
                                       lock(&clk->rwsem) [2]
                                       ...
                                       ptp_clock_freerun()
                                         ptp_vclock_in_use()
                                           lock(&ptp->n_vclocks_mux) [3]
    ptp_clock_unregister()
      posix_clock_unregister()
        lock(&clk->rwsem) [4]

To solve this with minimal patches, we should change ptp_clock_freerun()
to briefly release the read lock before calling ptp_vclock_in_use() and
then re-lock it when we're done.
