IB/IPoIB: Fix race between ipoib_remove_one to sysfs functions

commit 198b12f7 upstream.

In ipoib_remove_one the driver holds the rtnl_lock and tries to do some
operation like dev_change_flags or unregister_netdev, while sysfs
callback like ipoib_vlan_delete holds sysfs mutex and tries to hold the
rtnl_lock via rtnl_trylock() and restart_syscall() if the lock is not
free, meanwhile ipoib_remove_one tries to get the sysfs lock in order to
free its sysfs directory, and we will get  a->b, b->a deadlock.

    Trace like the following:

        SyS_delete_module+0x1b5/0x210
        entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x16/0x75

The fix is by checking the flag IPOIB_FLAG_INTF_ON_DESTROY in order to
get out from the sysfs function.
