net-sysfs: Use rtnl_trylock in wireless sysfs methods.
The wireless sysfs methods like the rest of the networking sysfs methods are removed with the rtnl_lock held and block until the existing methods stop executing. So use rtnl_trylock and restart_syscall so that the code continues to work. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
