netpoll: fix a rtnl lock assertion failure
v4: hold rtnl lock for the whole netpoll_setup() v3: remove the comment v2: use RCU read lock This patch fixes the following warning: [ 72.013864] RTNL: assertion failed at net/core/dev.c (4955) [ 72.017758] Pid: 668, comm: netpoll-prep-v6 Not tainted 3.8.0-rc1+ #474 [ 72.019582] Call Trace: [ 72.020295] [<ffffffff8176653d>] netdev_master_upper_dev_get+0x35/0x58 [ 72.022545] [<ffffffff81784edd>] netpoll_setup+0x61/0x340 [ 72.024846] [<ffffffff815d837e>] store_enabled+0x82/0xc3 [ 72.027466] [<ffffffff815d7e51>] netconsole_target_attr_store+0x35/0x37 [ 72.029348] [<ffffffff811c3479>] configfs_write_file+0xe2/0x10c [ 72.030959] [<ffffffff8115d239>] vfs_write+0xaf/0xf6 [ 72.032359] [<ffffffff81978a05>] ? sysret_check+0x22/0x5d [ 72.033824] [<ffffffff8115d453>] sys_write+0x5c/0x84 [ 72.035328] [<ffffffff819789d9>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b In case of other races, hold rtnl lock for the entire netpoll_setup() function.
