[SCSI] fcoe: Don't hold rtnl_mutex in fcoe_update_src_mac
The rtnl_mutex was held to protect calls to dev_uc_add
and dev_uc_del. Holding rtnl is not required as those
functions make use of the netif_addr_lock* API to
protect the MAC changing.
This change fixes the following regression by removing
the rtnl usage when fcoe_update_src_mac is called.
