    IB/ipoib: Fix lockdep issue found on ipoib_ib_dev_heavy_flush · 8c954368

    [ Upstream commit 1f80bd6a ]
    
    The locking order of vlan_rwsem (LOCK A) and then rtnl (LOCK B),
    contradicts other flows such as ipoib_open possibly causing a deadlock.
    To prevent this deadlock heavy flush is called with RTNL locked and
    only then tries to acquire vlan_rwsem.
    This deadlock is possible only when there are child interfaces.
