ravb: Fix races between ravb_tx_timeout_work() and net related ops
Fix races between ravb_tx_timeout_work() and functions of net_device_ops and ethtool_ops by using rtnl_trylock() and rtnl_unlock(). Note that since ravb_close() is under the rtnl lock and calls cancel_work_sync(), ravb_tx_timeout_work() should calls rtnl_trylock(). Otherwise, a deadlock may happen in ravb_tx_timeout_work() like below: CPU0 CPU1 ravb_tx_timeout() schedule_work() ... __dev_close_many() // Under rtnl lock ravb_close() cancel_work_sync() // Waiting ravb_tx_timeout_work() rtnl_lock() // This is possible to cause a deadlock If rtnl_trylock() fails, rescheduling the work with sleep for 1 msec.
