net-sysfs: Use rtnl_trylock in wireless sysfs methods.
[ Upstream commit b8afe6416101549e877f8470f2a160df69676166 ]
The wireless sysfs methods like the rest of the networking sysfs
methods are removed with the rtnl_lock held and block until
the existing methods stop executing. So use rtnl_trylock
and restart_syscall so that the code continues to work.
