While waiting for a carrier to come on one of the netdevices, some devices will require to take the rtnl lock at some point to fully initialize all parts of the link. That's the case for SFP, where the rtnl is taken when a module gets detected. This prevents mounting an NFS rootfs over an SFP link. This means that while ipconfig waits for carriers to be detected, no SFP modules can be detected in the meantime, it's only detected after ipconfig times out. This commit releases the rtnl_lock while waiting for the carrier to come up, and re-takes it to check the for the init device and carrier status.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
