Fix an obvious violation of lock ordering. Jakub's [1] added netdev_lock() call that is wrong ordered wrt RTNL, but the Fixes tag points to crit_lock being wrongly placed (by lockdep standards). Actual reason we got it wrong is dated back to critical section managed by pure flag checks, which is with us since the very beginning.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
