commit 65f69851e44d71248b952a687e44759a7abb5016 upstream.
The commit 6faee3d4ee8b ("igb: Add lock to avoid data race") adds
rtnl_lock to eliminate a false data race shown below
(FREE from device detaching) | (USE from netdev core)
igb_remove | igb_ndo_get_vf_config
igb_disable_sriov | vf >= adapter->vfs_allocated_count?
kfree(adapter->vf_data) |
adapter->vfs_allocated_count = 0 |
| memcpy(... adapter->vf_data[vf]
The above race will never happen and the extra rtnl_lock causes deadlock
below

Since the igb_disable_sriov() will call pci_disable_sriov() before
releasing any resources, the netdev core will synchronize the cleanup to
avoid any races. This patch removes the useless rtnl_(un)lock to guarantee
correctness.
