bridge: netlink: fix slave_changelink/br_setport race conditions
commit 963ad948 upstream. Since slave_changelink support was added there have been a few race conditions when using br_setport() since some of the port functions it uses require the bridge lock. It is very easy to trigger a lockup due to some internal spin_lock() usage without bh disabled, also it's possible to get the bridge into an inconsistent state.
