cnic: Don't take cnic_dev_lock in cnic_alloc_uio_rings()
We are allocating memory with GFP_KERNEL under spinlock. Since this is the only call manipulating the cnic_udev_list and it is always under rtnl_lock, cnic_dev_lock can be safely removed. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
