When working on LED support for r8169 I got the following lockdep
warning. Easiest way to prevent this scenario seems to be to take
the RTNL lock before the trigger_data lock in set_device_name().

bash/383 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888103aa1c68 (&trigger_data->lock){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: netdev_trig_notify+0xec/0x190 [ledtrig_netdev]

but task is already holding lock:
ffffffff8cddf808 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: rtnl_lock+0x12/0x20

which lock already depends on the new lock.


the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:
