bnxt_re: Remove RTNL lock dependency in bnxt_re_query_port
When there is a NETDEV_UNREGISTER event, bnxt_re driver calls ib_unregister_device() (RTNL lock held). ib_unregister_device attempts to flush a worker queue scheduled by ib_core and that queue might have a pending ib_query_port(). ib_query_port in turn calls bnxt_re_query_port(), which while querying the link speed using ib_get_eth_speed(), tries to acquire the rtnl_lock() which was already held by NETDEV_UNREGISTER. Fixing the issue by removing the link speed query from bnxt_re_query_port() Now the speed is queried post a successful ib_register_device or whenever there is a NETDEV_CHANGE event.
