e1000: fix occasional panic on unload
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Net drivers in general have an issue where timers fired
by mod_timer or work threads with schedule_work are running
outside of the rtnl_lock.

With no other lock protection these routines are vulnerable
to races with driver unload or reset paths.

The longer term solution to this might be a redesign with
safer locks being taken in the driver to guarantee no
reentrance, but for now a safe and effective fix is
to take the rtnl_lock in these routines.
