net: Fix bridgeing sysfs handling of rtnl_lock
Holding rtnl_lock when we are unregistering the sysfs files can deadlock if we unconditionally take rtnl_lock in a sysfs file. So fix it with the now familiar patter of: rtnl_trylock and syscall_restart() Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
