arp: Get dev after calling arp_req_(delete|set|get)().
arp_ioctl() holds rtnl_lock() first regardless of cmd (SIOCDARP, SIOCSARP, and SIOCGARP) to get net_device by __dev_get_by_name() and copy dev->name safely. In the SIOCGARP path, arp_req_get() calls neigh_lookup(), which looks up a neighbour entry under RCU. We will extend the RCU section not to take rtnl_lock() and instead use dev_get_by_name_rcu() for SIOCGARP. As a preparation, let's move __dev_get_by_name() into another function and call it from arp_req_delete(), arp_req_set(), and arp_req_get().
