Subject: [PATCH] net: make devnet_rename_seq a mutex

On RT write_seqcount_begin() disables preemption and device_rename()
allocates memory with GFP_KERNEL and grabs later the sysfs_mutex mutex.
Since I don't see a reason why this can't be a mutex, make it one. We
probably don't have that much reads at the same time in the hot path.
