net: Add a mutex around devnet_rename_seq

On RT write_seqcount_begin() disables preemption and device_rename()
allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL and grabs later the sysfs_mutex
mutex. Serialize with a mutex and add use the non preemption disabling
__write_seqcount_begin().

To avoid writer starvation, let the reader grab the mutex and release
it when it detects a writer in progress. This keeps the normal case
(no reader on the fly) fast.

[ tglx: Instead of replacing the seqcount by a mutex, add the mutex ]
