[PATCH net v2 2/2] net: spacemit: Hold RTNL lock in emac_resume() and emac_suspend()

The emac_resume() calls the emac_open() and emac_suspend() calls
emac_stop() functions directly without holding the lock through
rtnl_lock(). These functions rely on phy_disconnect() which reads pointer
with rtnl_dereference(). But since no lock is being held,
rtnl_dereference throws a suspicious RCU usage on
Orange Pi RV2 (SpacemiT K1) warning when lockdep is enabled.
WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c:1831 suspicious rcu_dereference_protected() usage!
Call Trace:
phy_detach_internal+0x490/0x5f2
phy_disconnect+0x90/0xc0
emac_stop+0x114/0x626
emac_suspend+0xac/0x126
platform_pm_suspend+0x72/0xe4
Take RTNL in emac_suspend() and emac_resume() before the netif_running()
checks, so the interface can't be opened or closed between the check and
emac_stop() or emac_open().
Found by CI suspend tests on Orange Pi RV2 (SpacemiT K1). Tested on the
same board with lockdep enabled: 12 suspend/resume cycles without the
warning, and kselftest with no new failures.
Fixes: bfec6d7f2001 ("net: spacemit: Add K1 Ethernet MAC")
