We were depending on the rtnl_lock to make sure there is only one adminq
command running at a time. But some commands may take too long to hold
the rtnl_lock, such as the upcoming flow steering operations. For such
situations, it can temporarily drop the rtnl_lock, and replace it for
these operations with a new adminq lock, which can ensure the adminq
command execution to be thread-safe.
