But also in general, it would be nice to keep existing
rtnl+instance_lock scheme for now (except were we want to explicitly opt
out, as in queue apis); we can follow up later to un-rtnl the rest.  

I am just wondering if the code as-is is already safe from a locking
perspecting, and just the warning (ASSERT_RTNL) is wrong.

I suspect the notifiers for DOWN may expect to be called with rtnl held.
