[040/145] net-sysfs: Use rtnl_trylock in wireless sysfs methods.

[Greg KH]

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

----------------
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ 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.
