I did this assertion there because I supposed that the rtnl lock is hold
while calling this callback. Now I see it isn't...
We need to hold the rtnl lock there because we accessing the mib values.
Try this:

I will put it in my queue for next patch series to remove the mib/pib
spinlocks. We have only the rtnl lock now.
