Add RTNL assertion to linkwatch_run_queue since function 
must be called with semaphore held

Signed-off-by: Denis Kirjanov <dkirjanov@kernel.org>
This function is exported purely for netdev_wait_allrefs()'s sake
and for no other purpose.

In fact, I'd say this is entirely a private functional interface
specifically built for generic network interface tear-down.

If you are trying to use this function in another context, that's
something you need to discuss with us first before we start peppering
it with various assertions.

I am not applying this patch.
