Skip rtnl_lock in RSS context handlers if device is ops-locked. Fairly trivial conversion. bnxt needed rtnl_lock for changing the main context but looks like additional contexts are fine without it. Note (for review bots?) that ethnl_ops_begin() checks whether the device is still registered. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
