[PATCH] uml: fix spinlock recursion and sleep-inside-spinlock in error path

In this error path, when the interface has had a problem, we call dev_close(),
which is disallowed for two reasons:

*) takes again the UML internal spinlock, inside the ->stop method of this
   device
*) can be called in process context only, while we're in interrupt context.

I've also thought that calling dev_close() may be a wrong policy to follow,
but it's not up to me to decide that.

However, we may end up with multiple dev_close() queued on the same device.
But the initial test for (dev->flags & IFF_UP) makes this harmless, though -
and dev_close() is supposed to care about races with itself.  So there's no
harm in delaying the shutdown, IMHO.

Something to mark the interface as "going to shutdown" would be appreciated,
but dev_deactivate has the same problems as dev_close(), so we can't use it
either.
