It's hard to say who introduces this issue, we probably could point
our finger to below commit
bd869245a3dc net: core: try to runtime-resume detached device in __dev_open

This calling path is not usual, in my case, the NIC is not plugged in
any Ethernet cable,
and we are doing networking tests on another NIC on the system. So,
remove the rtnl lock from igb driver will affect other scenarios.
