net: dsa: restore error path of dsa_tree_change_tag_proto

When the DSA_NOTIFIER_TAG_PROTO returns an error, the user space process
which initiated the protocol change exits the kernel processing while
still holding the rtnl_mutex. So any other process attempting to lock
the rtnl_mutex would deadlock after such event.

The error handling of DSA_NOTIFIER_TAG_PROTO was inadvertently changed
by the blamed commit, introducing this regression. We must still call
rtnl_unlock(), and we must still call DSA_NOTIFIER_TAG_PROTO for the old
protocol. The latter is due to the limiting design of notifier chains
for cross-chip operations, which don't have a built-in error recovery
mechanism - we should look into using notifier_call_chain_robust for that.
