IB/ipoib: Fix deadlock over vlan_mutex
commit 1c3098cd upstream. This patch fixes Deadlock while executing ipoib_vlan_delete. The function takes the vlan_rwsem semaphore and calls unregister_netdevice. The later function calls ipoib_mcast_stop_thread that cause workqueue flush. When the queue has one of the ipoib_ib_dev_flush_xxx events, a deadlock occur because these events also tries to catch the same vlan_rwsem semaphore. To fix, unregister_netdevice should be called after releasing the semaphore.
