Ying Xue ed4ffdfec2 tipc: Fix missing RTNL lock protection during setting link properties
Currently when user changes link properties, TIPC first checks if
user's command message contains media name or bearer name through
tipc_media_find() or tipc_bearer_find() which is protected by RTNL
lock. But when tipc_nl_compat_link_set() conducts the checking with
the two functions, it doesn't hold RTNL lock at all, as a result,
the following complaints were reported:

In order to correct the mistake, __tipc_nl_compat_doit() has been
protected by RTNL lock, which means the whole operation of setting
bearer/media properties is under RTNL protection.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
