[ Upstream commit b4b678b06f6eef18bff44a338c01870234db0bc9 ]
When ndo_open and ndo_stop are called RTNL lock should be held. In this specific case ipoib_ib_dev_open calls the offloaded ndo_open which re-sets the number of TX queue assuming RTNL lock is held. Since RTNL lock is not held, RTNL assert will fail.
