[TUN]: Fix RTNL-locking in tun/tap driver

Current tun/tap driver sets also net device's hw address when asked to
change character device's hw address. This is a good idea, but it
misses RTLN-locking, resulting following error message in 2.6.25-rc3's
inetdev_event() function:

RTNL: assertion failed at net/ipv4/devinet.c (1050)

Attached patch fixes this problem.
