tipc: Fix missing RTNL lock protection during setting link properties



Currently when user changes link properties, TIPC first checks if
user's command message contains media name or bearer name through
tipc_media_find() or tipc_bearer_find() which is protected by RTNL
lock. But when tipc_nl_compat_link_set() conducts the checking with
the two functions, it doesn't hold RTNL lock at all, as a result,
the following complaints were reported:

In order to correct the mistake, __tipc_nl_compat_doit() has been
protected by RTNL lock, which means the whole operation of setting
bearer/media properties is under RTNL protection.
