net: arp_ioctl() must hold RTNL
Commit 941666c2e3e0 "net: RCU conversion of dev_getbyhwaddr() and
arp_ioctl()" introduced a regression, reported by Jamie Heilman.
"arp -Ds 192.168.2.41 eth0 pub" triggered the ASSERT_RTNL() assert
in pneigh_lookup()
Removing RTNL requirement from arp_ioctl() was a mistake, just revert
that part.
