Switch it to rcu.

rtnl_link_slave_info_fill on to other hand does need rtnl mutex for now so
add an annotation to its caller as a reminder.

 Change since v1:
  - don't add ASSERT_RTNL to rtnl_link_slave_info_fill and
  rtnl_link_info_fill they are only called via rtnl_link_fill.

Rather than sprinkling the ASSERT_RTNL why not just add a comment above
the function which is done in many places. Since this is really meant as
your notes as you remove rtnl usage a comment serves the same purpose.
