tun: Extend RTNL lock coverage over whole ioctl

Browse Source 
As it is, parts of the ioctl runs under the RTNL and parts of
it do not.  The unlocked section is still protected by the BKL,
but there can be subtle races.  For example, Eric Biederman and
Paul Moore observed that if two threads tried to create two tun
devices on the same file descriptor, then unexpected results
may occur.

As there isn't anything in the ioctl that is expected to sleep
indefinitely, we can prevent this from occurring by extending
the RTNL lock coverage.

This also allows to get rid of the BKL.

Finally, I changed tun_get_iff to take a tun device in order to
avoid calling tun_put which would dead-lock as it also tries to
take the RTNL lock.
