[ewg] [PATCH 2.6.25 1/2] RDMA/cxgb3: Hold rtnl_lock() around ethtool get_drvinfo call.

RDMA/cxgb3: Hold rtnl_lock() around ethtool get_drvinfo call.

Currently the call into cxgb3 to get the driver info is not serialized.
The iw_cxgb3 module needs to hold the rtnl_lock around the ethtool ops
call like dev_ioctl() does.
