Ok series applied, let's see where this goes :-)

1 hour in, 1 problem reported

Its even worse.  Would you rather see a revert?

I'm sure that you are aware that the widespread rtnl usage is a
problem because it does hurt scalability. I still think its worth trying
to disentangle this where possible.

I should have fixes for the reported fallout soon.
Alternatively, I can send a revert plus patch to add ASSERT_RTNL in
one more spot.
