cnic: Fix rtnl deadlock
When cnic_stop_hw() -> cnic_cm_stop_bnx2x_hw() is called under rtnl_lock() from NETDEV_DOWN event, it waits for cnic_delete_task() to complete. It will deadlock when cnic_delete_task() takes rtnl_lock() before calling cnic_ulp_stop_one(). We fix it by removing the rtnl_lock() in cnic_delete_task(). cnic_ulp_stop_one() has mutex and atomic bit ops to prevent important operations from being done more than once, so it is not necessary to take rtnl_lock().
