Now that we have an intermediate layer of code for handling rtnl-level netlink dump quirks, we can move the rtnl_lock taking there.

For dump handlers with RTNL_FLAG_DUMP_SPLIT_NLM_DONE we can avoid taking rtnl_lock just to generate NLM_DONE, once again.

Not really a fix, FWIW, but not scary either so your call.
