Re: [patch net-next-2.6] net: consolidate and fix ethtool_ops->get_settings calling

This patch does several things:
- introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and
  from dev_ethtool_get_settings() as well.
- dev_ethtool_get_settings() becomes rtnl wrapper for
  __ethtool_get_settings()
- changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In
  iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This
  fixes it
- introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create()
  so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they
  are from other places.
- prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c was not calling get_settings
  with rtnl_lock. So use dev_ethtool_get_settings here.
- use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code
