Toke Høiland-Jørgensen f31557fb1b net: openvswitch: Avoid needlessly taking the RTNL on vport destroy
[ Upstream commit 5498227676303e3ffa9a3a46214af96bc3e81314 ]

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.
