Johannes Berg 77cbf790e5 nl80211: fix locking for wireless device netns change 
We have all the network interfaces marked as netns-local
since the only reasonable thing to do right now is to set
a whole device, including all netdevs, into a different
network namespace. For this reason, we also have our own
way of changing the network namespace.

Unfortunately, the RTNL locking changes broke this, and
it now results in many RTNL assertions. The trivial fix
for those (just hold RTNL for the changes) however leads
to deadlocks in the cfg80211 netdev notifier.

Since we only need the wiphy, and that's still protected
by the RTNL, add a new NL80211_FLAG_NO_WIPHY_MTX flag to
the nl80211 ops and use it to _not_ take the wiphy mutex
but only the RTNL. This way, the notifier does all the
work necessary during unregistration/registration of the
netdevs from the old and in the new namespace.
