When ipoib interface is going down it takes all of its children with
it, under mutex.

For each child, dev_change_flags() is called.  That function calls
ipoib_stop() via the ndo, and causes flush of the workqueue.
Sometimes in the workqueue an __ipoib_dev_flush work() is waiting and
when invoked tries to get the same mutex, which leads to a deadlock,
as seen below.

The solution is to switch to rw-sem instead of mutex.

The deadlock:
