Subject: [PATCH 5/7] net: Fix bridgeing sysfs handling of rtnl_lock

From: [email-masked] (Eric W. Biederman)
Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 20:00:41 -0700

Holding rtnl_lock when we are unregistering the sysfs files can
deadlock if we unconditionally take rtnl_lock in a sysfs file.  So fix
it with the now familiar patter of: rtnl_trylock and syscall_restart()
