[RTNETLINK]: Remove unnecessary locking in dump callbacks

Since we're now holding the rtnl during the entire dump operation, we can
remove additional locking for rtnl protected data. This patch does that
for all simple cases (dev_base_lock for dev_base walking, RCU protection
for FIB rule dumping).
