Jakub Kicinski 4c2bd7913f net: let lockdep compare instance locks ...

AFAIU always returning -1 from lockdep's compare function
basically disables checking of dependencies between given
locks. Try to be a little more precise about what guarantees
that instance locks won't deadlock.

Right now we only nest them under protection of rtnl_lock.
Mostly in unregister_netdevice_many() and dev_close_many().
