We must serialize calls to rxe_net_del() or risk a crash as syzbot

Jason Gunthorpe suggest placing the lock within rxe to protect its racy
implementation of rxe_net_del(), which looks like it is possibly also
triggered by NETDEV_UNREGISTER.

The patch addressing this issue in nldev_dellink() has already been
applied(0b28000b64f4); however, since the fix has now been relocated
to rxe, the corresponding remedial code in nldev has been removed.

Fixes: f1327abd6abe ("RDMA/rxe: Support RDMA link creation and destruction per net namespace")
Fixes: 0b28000b64f4 ("RDMA/nldev: Add mutual exclusion in nldev_dellink()")

v1 -> v2: serialize calls to rxe net del
I looked through the commit. I am not sure if this commit should be sent to syzbot to verify.
