The sync_vsi_filters function can be called directly under RTNL or through the timer subtask without one. This was causing a deadlock. If sync_vsi_filters is called from a thread which held the lock, and in another thread the PROMISC setting got changed we would be executing the PROMISC change in the thread which already held the lock alongside the other filter update. The PROMISC change requires a reset if we are on a VEB, which requires it to be called under RTNL. Earlier the driver would call reset for PROMISC change without checking if we were already under RTNL and would try to grab it causing a deadlock. This patch changes the flow to see if we are already under RTNL before trying to grab it.
