genetlink: release cb_lock before requesting additional module

[ Upstream commit c74f2b2678f40b80265dd53556f1f778c8e1823f ]

Requesting external module with cb_lock taken can result in
the deadlock like showed below:

Problem start to happen after adding net-pf-16-proto-16-family-nl80211
alias name to cfg80211 module by below commit (though that commit
itself is perfectly fine):
