tipc: Fix missing RTNL lock protection during setting link properties

At present it's unsafe to configure link properties through netlink
as the entire setting process is not under RTNL lock protection. Now
TIPC supports two different sets of netlink APIs at the same time, and
they share the same set of backend functions to configure bearer,
media and net properties. In order to solve the missing RTNL issue,
we have to make the whole __tipc_nl_compat_doit() protected by RTNL,
which means any function called within it cannot take RTNL any more.
So in the series we first introduce the following new functions which
doesn't hold RTNl lock:

 - __tipc_nl_bearer_disable()
 - __tipc_nl_bearer_enable()
 - __tipc_nl_bearer_set()
 - __tipc_nl_media_set()
 - __tipc_nl_net_set()

Meanwhile, __tipc_nl_compat_doit() has been reconstructed to minimize
the time of holding RTNL lock.

Changes in v4:
 - Per suggestion of Kirill Tkhai, divided original big one patch into
   seven small ones so that they can be easily reviewed.

Changes in v3:
 - Optimized return method of __tipc_nl_bearer_enable() regarding
   the comments from David M and Kirill Tkhai
 - Moved the allocations of memory in __tipc_nl_compat_doit() out
   of RTNL lock to minimize the time of holding RTNL lock according
   to the suggestion of Kirill Tkhai.

Changes in v2:
 - The whole operation of setting bearer/media properties has been
   protected under RTNL, as per feedback from David M.
