datapath: Fix deadlock in network device notifier.

When a network device that is part of a datapath is destroyed, the
notifier handler in dp_device_event() calls dp_del_switch_port() to
delete the switch port.  dp_del_switch_port() then calls rtnl_lock()
to drop the device's promiscuous count.  But the RTNL lock has already
been taken at this point, so taking it recursively deadlocks.

The obvious fix is for dp_del_switch_port()'s caller to take the RTNL
lock for it, if it is not already taken.  This, however, causes a
different deadlock, as dp_del_switch_port() needs dp_mutex and that
means that we are nesting dp_mutex and the RTNL both ways.

The fix used here is to always nest dp_mutex inside the RTNL lock and
never vice versa.
