commit c62987bbd8a1 ("bridge: push bridge setting ageing_time down to
switchdev") introduced a timer race condition because the gc_timer can
get rearmed after it's supposedly stopped and flushed in br_dev_delete()
leading to a use of freed memory. So take rtnl to sync with bridge
destruction when setting ageing_timer.
Here's the trace reproduced with these two commands running in parallel:
while :; do echo 10000 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/ageing_timer; done;
while :; do brctl addbr br0; ip l set br0 up; ip l set br0 down;
brctl delbr br0; done;
