Dropping locks taken by the core around the driver callback
is obviously unacceptable. SMH.
Right. It seems like the correct fix is to either a) have reset take and
hold the netdev lock (now that its distinct from the global RTNL lock)
or b) refactor reset so that it can defer any of the netdev related
stuff somehow.
