RDMA/netlink: Fix locking around __ib_get_device_by_index
Holding locks is mandatory when calling __ib_device_get_by_index, otherwise there are races during the list iteration with device removal. Since the locks are static to device.c, __ib_device_get_by_index can never be called correctly by any user out side the file. Make the function static and provide a safe function that gets the correct locks and returns a kref'd pointer. Fix all callers.
