I though that most of the callers are from do_setlink and there we have rtnl and we grab rtnl+lock during the sync. But that doesn't address the suspend/resume vs do_setlink race, that's true :-( Did not look deep into the notifiers, assuming they are a way to push the info down to the devices (under rtnl) plus trigger the sync work, will take a closer look.
