Guillaume Nault 0171c41835 ppp: unlock all_ppp_mutex before registering device ... ppp_dev_uninit(), which is the .ndo_uninit() handler of PPP devices, needs to lock pn->all_ppp_mutex. Therefore we mustn't call register_netdevice() with pn->all_ppp_mutex already locked, or we'd deadlock in case register_netdevice() fails and calls .ndo_uninit(). Fortunately, we can unlock pn->all_ppp_mutex before calling register_netdevice(). This lock protects pn->units_idr, which isn't used in the device registration process. However, keeping pn->all_ppp_mutex locked during device registration did ensure that no device in transient state would be published in pn->units_idr. In practice, unlocking it before calling register_netdevice() doesn't change this property: ppp_unit_register() is called with 'ppp_mutex' locked and all searches done in pn->units_idr hold this lock too.
