Roland Dreier cbbe1efa49 IPoIB: Fix deadlock between ipoib_open() and child interface create
Fix a deadlock between child interface creation/deletion and ipoib
start/stop.  The former takes vlan_mutex, and then might take RTNL via
register_netdev()/unregister_netdev().  The latter is executed with
RTNL held, and tries to take vlan_mutex, which can lead to an AB-BA
deadlock.

Fix this by having the child interface creation/deletion code take the
RTNL first so vlan_mutex always nests inside RTNL.  We can use
register_netdevice() for child interfaces because we form the
interface name from the parent interface and hence don't need the '%'
expansion of register_netdev().
