[ Upstream commit5498227676] The openvswitch teardown code will immediately call ovs_netdev_detach_dev() in response to a NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification. It will then start the dp_notify_work workqueue, which will later end up calling the vport destroy() callback. This callback takes the RTNL to do another ovs_netdev_detach_port(), which in this case is unnecessary. This causes extra pressure on the RTNL, in some cases leading to "unregister_netdevice: waiting for XX to become free" warnings on teardown. We can straight-forwardly avoid the extra RTNL lock acquisition by checking the device flags before taking the lock, and skip the locking altogether if the IFF_OVS_DATAPATH flag has already been unset.
