ipv4: fix a deadlock in ip_ra_control
Similar to commit 87e9f031 ("ipv4: fix a potential deadlock in mcast getsockopt() path"), there is a deadlock scenario for IP_ROUTER_ALERT too: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(rtnl_mutex); lock(sk_lock-AF_INET); lock(rtnl_mutex); lock(sk_lock-AF_INET); Fix this by always locking RTNL first on all setsockopt() paths. Note, after this patch ip_ra_lock is no longer needed either.
