qeth: suspicious rcu_dereference_check in recovery
qeth layer3 recovery invokes its set_multicast_list function, which
invokes function __vlan_find_dev_deep requiring rcu_read_lock or
rtnl lock. This causes kernel messages:
kernel: [ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]

The patch makes sure the rtnl lock is held once qeth recovery invokes
its set_multicast_list function.
