cfg80211: fix locking in nl80211_set_wiphy

Luis reports that there's a circular locking dependency;
this is because cfg80211_dev_rename() will acquire the
cfg80211_mutex while the device mutex is held, while
this normally is done the other way around. The solution
is to open-code the device-getting in nl80211_set_wiphy
and require holding the mutex around cfg80211_dev_rename
rather than acquiring it within.

Also fix a bug -- rtnl locking is expected by drivers so
we need to provide it.
