[PATCH net v3] tipc: fix missing RTNL lock protection during setting link properties

Currently when user changes link properties, TIPC first checks if
user's command message contains media name or bearer name through
tipc_media_find() or tipc_bearer_find() which is protected by RTNL
lock. But when tipc_nl_compat_link_set() conducts the checking with
the two functions, it doesn't hold RTNL lock at all, as a result,
the following complaints were reported:

audit: type=1400 audit(1514679888.244:9): avc:  denied  { write } for

In order to correct the mistake, __tipc_nl_compat_doit() has been
protected by RTNL lock, which means the whole operation of setting
bearer/media properties is under RTNL protection.

v3: 
    - Optimized return method of __tipc_nl_bearer_enable() regarding
      the comments from David M and Kirill Tkhai
    - Moved the allocations of memory in __tipc_nl_compat_doit() out
      of RTNL lock to minimize the time of holding RTNL lock according
      to the suggestion of Kirill Tkhai.
v2:
    - The whole operation of setting bearer/media properties has been
      protected under RTNL, as per feedback from David M.
