net: bridge: fix ioctl locking

Before commit ad2f99aedf8f ("net: bridge: move bridge ioctls out of
.ndo_do_ioctl") the bridge ioctl calls were divided in two parts:
one was deviceless called by sock_ioctl and didn't expect rtnl to be held,
the other was with a device called by dev_ifsioc() and expected rtnl to be
held. After the commit above they were united in a single ioctl stub, but
it didn't take care of the locking expectations.
For sock_ioctl now we acquire  (1) br_ioctl_mutex, (2) rtnl
and for dev_ifsioc we acquire  (1) rtnl,           (2) br_ioctl_mutex

The fix is to get a refcnt on the netdev for dev_ifsioc calls and drop rtnl
then to reacquire it in the bridge ioctl stub after br_ioctl_mutex has
been acquired. That will avoid playing locking games and make the rules
straight-forward: we always take br_ioctl_mutex first, and then rtnl.
