[PATCH wpan-next 09/20] net: mac802154: Introduce a global device lock

From: Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@bootlin.com>
Date: 2022-07-01 14:36:20
Subsystem: ieee 802.15.4 subsystem, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Aring, Stefan Schmidt, Miquel Raynal, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The purpose of this device lock is to prevent the removal of the device
while an asynchronous MLME operation happens. The RTNL works well for
that but in a later series having the RTNL taken here will be
problematic and will cause lockdep to warn us about a circular
dependency. We don't really need the RTNL here, just a serialization
over this operation.

Replace the RTNL calls with this new lock.
