ixgbe: release lock for the duration of ixgbe_suspend_close()
Currently, during device_shutdown() ixgbe holds rtnl_lock for the duration of lengthy ixgbe_close_suspend(). On machines with multiple ixgbe cards this lock prevents scaling if device_shutdown() function is multi-threaded. It is not necessary to hold this lock during ixgbe_close_suspend() as it is not held when ixgbe_close() is called also during shutdown but for kexec case.
