net: ipconfig: Release the rtnl_lock while waiting for carrier
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.
