packet: dont call sleeping functions while holding rcu_read_lock()
commit 654d1f8a019dfa06d (packet: less dev_put() calls) introduced a problem, calling potentially sleeping functions from a rcu_read_lock() protected section. Fix this by releasing lock before the sock_wmalloc()/memcpy_fromiovec() calls. After skb allocation and copy from user space, we redo device lookup and appropriate tests.
