nl80211_pre_doit acquires rtnl_lock and then wiphy_lock, releasing
rtnl while keeping wiphy_lock held until post_doit. With the
introduction of rx_mode_wq and its flush in netdev_run_todo, calling
rtnl_unlock here creates a circular lock dependency:

  Chain exists of:
    (wq_completion)rx_mode_wq --> rtnl_mutex --> &rdev->wiphy.mtx

   Possible unsafe locking scenario:

         CPU0                    CPU1
         ----                    ----
    lock(&rdev->wiphy.mtx);
                                 lock(rtnl_mutex);
                                 lock(&rdev->wiphy.mtx);
    lock((wq_completion)rx_mode_wq);

Switch to __rtnl_unlock to skip netdev_run_todo in nl80211_pre_doit.
This seems safe because we run before the op.
