PATCH 1/2 dlci: acquire rtnl_lock before calling __dev_get_by_name()

Otherwise the net device returned can be freed at anytime.

PATCH 2/2 dlci: validate the net device in dlci_del()

We triggered an oops while running trinity with 3.4 kernel:

It's because the net device is not a dlci device.

Applied and queued up for -stable.
