Why not just enclose this list_del() within a mutex_lock(iflist_mtx)
like the others? Would probably make more sense and prevent the use of
yet another protection mechanism? Is there anything preventing the use
of this mutex here?

Moreover, if we manage interfaces list with RCU and device status with
an extra status bit, do we need 'iflist_mtx' at all? I've tried this
in https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=Patch&x=17b1f4e8580000 and
it looks good.
