The SET_VLAN_NAME_TYPE_CMD command w/o CAP_NET_ADMIN capability
doesn't release the rtnl lock.

Thanks Pavel. I somehow recall that we already fixed this
one, but can't find the patch :) Dave, please apply.

I think we even added this bug to -stable, or something like
that, didn't we?  Yikes...

No, I mixed those two patches up as well. The bug was introduced
with the vlan_netlink stuff, the -stable patch fixed an invalid
return value, but still properly dropped the lock.

This patch should of course go in -stable anyway.

Applied and I'll push to -stable once Linus pulls it in.
