[PATCH v2] can: slcan: do not sleep with a spin lock held

[Dario Binacchi]

We can't call close_candev() with a spin lock held, so release the lock
before calling it.

Fixes: c4e54b063f42f ("can: slcan: use CAN network device driver API")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <oliver.sang@intel.com>

Signed-off-by: Dario Binacchi <dario.binacchi@amarulasolutions.com>

Changes in v2:
- Release the lock just before calling the close_candev().

So all these sets need not be under the spinlock?

If so, you should explain why in the commit message.
