The series initially aimed at improving spins (and thus delays) while
accessing net sysfs under rtnl lock contention[1]. The culprit was the
trylock/restart_syscall constructions. There wasn't much interest at the
time but it got traction recently for other reasons (lowering the rtnl
lock pressure).
Sorry for the flip flop but would you mind if we applied this right
after the merge window? It doesn't feel super risky, but on the small
chance that it does blow up - explaining why we applied it during 
the MW would be more of an apology..
