    net/packet: fix a race in packet_set_ring() and packet_notifier()

    When packet_set_ring() releases po->bind_lock, another thread can
    run packet_notifier() and process an NETDEV_UP event.

    This race and the fix are both similar to that of commit 15fe076
    ("net/packet: fix a race in packet_bind() and packet_notifier()").

    There too the packet_notifier NETDEV_UP event managed to run while a
    po->bind_lock critical section had to be temporarily released. And
    the fix was similarly to temporarily set po->num to zero to keep
    the socket unhooked until the lock is retaken.

    The po->bind_lock in packet_set_ring and packet_notifier precede the
    introduction of git history.
