[PATCH] net/core: split dev_ifsioc() according to locking

[Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>]

This always bugged me:  dev_ioctl() called dev_ifsioc() either inside
read_lock(dev_base_lock) or rtnl_lock(), depending on the ioctl being
executed.

This change moves the ioctls executed inside dev_base_lock to a new
function, dev_ifsioc_locked().  Now the locking context is completely
clear to the reader.
