The do_setlink() function is protected by rtnl, additional locks are
unnecessary.
and the set_operstate() function is called from protected parts. Locks removed
from both functions.
The set_operstate() is also called from rtnl_create_link() and from no other
places.
In rtnl_create_link() none of the changes is protected by set_lock_bh() except
inside set_operstate(), different locking scheme is not necessary
for the operstate.
