Subject: [PATCH] hv_netvsc: fix schedule in RCU context

From: Stephen Hemminger <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2018 08:03:43 -0700

When netvsc device is removed it can call reschedule in RCU context.
This happens because canceling the subchannel setup work could (in theory)
cause a reschedule when manipulating the timer.

To reproduce, run with lockdep enabled kernel and unbind
a network device from hv_netvsc (via sysfs).

Resolve this by getting RTNL earlier. This is safe because the subchannel
work queue does trylock on RTNL and will detect the race.
