Maybe there should be something like an ASSERT_NOT_RTNL() in the

method? If it's performance criticial, #ifdef it out if we're not
debugging locks?
You can't safely add a check like that. What if another cpu had acquired
RTNL and was unrelated.
I guess there isn't a way to see if *this* thread is the owner of the RTNL
currently? I think lockdep knows the owner...maybe could query it somehow,
or just save the owner in the mutex object when debugging is enabled...
