Does this guarantee that the synchronization is completely correct?

The purpose of this patch set is to add a separate lock for ctrlq rather than reusing the RTNL lock. But for dim workers, it not only involves the use of ctrlq, but also involves reading shared variables
in interfaces such as .set_coalesce, .get_coalesce, etc.

In addition, assuming there are 10 queues, each queue is scheduled with its own dim worker at the same time, then these 10 workers may issue parameters to rxq0 10 times in parallel, just because
the RTNL lock is removed here.

Therefore, when the RTNL lock is removed, a 'for loop' is no longer needed in virtnet_rx_dim_work,
and the dim worker of each queue only configures its own parameters.

Alternatively, please keep RTNL lock here.

Regards,
Heng
