rtnetlink: avoid RCU read lock when holding RTNL
When we call af_ops->set_link_af() we hold a RCU read lock
as we retrieve af_ops from the RCU protected list, but this
is unnecessary because we already hold RTNL lock, which is
the writer lock for protecting rtnl_af_ops, so it is safer
than RCU read lock. Similar for af_ops->validate_link_af().
This was not a problem until we begin to take mutex lock
down the path of ->set_link_af() in __ipv6_dev_mc_dec()
recently. We can just drop the RCU read lock there and
assert RTNL lock.
