cnic: Prevent "scheduling while atomic" when calling ->cnic_init()
cnic_dev_list is protected by rtnl_lock and cnic_dev_lock spin_lock during modifications. When looping on cnic_dev_list and calling ->cnic_init(), we should just hold rtnl_lock since ->cnic_init() may sleep. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
