Subject: team: don't traverse port list using rcu in team_set_mac_address

commit 9215f437b85da339a7dfe3db6e288637406f88b2 upstream.

Currently the list is traversed using rcu variant. That is not correct
since dev_set_mac_address can be called which eventually calls
rtmsg_ifinfo_build_skb and there, skb allocation can sleep. So fix this
by remove the rcu usage here.
