Ying Xue ca07fb07c9 tipc: adjust locking policy of protecting tipc_ptr pointer of net_device
Currently the 'tipc_ptr' pointer is protected by tipc_net_lock
write lock on write side, and RCU read lock is applied to read
side. In addition, there have two paths on write side where we
may change variables pointed by the 'tipc_ptr' pointer: one is
to configure bearer by tipc-config tool and another one is that
bearer status is changed by notification events of its attached
interface. But on the latter path, we improperly deem that
accessing 'tipc_ptr' pointer happens on read side with
rcu_read_lock() although some variables pointed by the 'tipc_ptr'
pointer are changed possibly.

Moreover, as now the both paths are guarded by RTNL lock, it's
better to adjust the locking policy of 'tipc_ptr' pointer
protection, allowing RTNL instead of tipc_net_lock write lock to
protect it on write side, which will help us purge tipc_net_lock
in the future.
