[SRU][J][PATCH 1/1] net: ravb: Fix missing rtnl lock in suspend/resume path

From: Kory Maincent <kory.maincent at bootlin.com>

Fix the suspend/resume path by ensuring the rtnl lock is held where
required. Calls to ravb_open, ravb_close and wol operations must be
performed under the rtnl lock to prevent conflicts with ongoing ndo
operations.

Without this fix, the following warning is triggered:

[bot_kybele: This tree's ravb_suspend/ravb_resume predate upstream's
 reset_control/pm_runtime_force_* rework, so instead of upstream's early-return
 structure I wrapped this tree's actual rtnl-requiring calls under rtnl_lock:
 the if/else ravb_wol_setup/ravb_close block in suspend, and the
 ravb_wol_restore/ravb_open sequence inside the netif_running block in resume
 (unlocking on the error paths), preserving the WoL/close/open behaviour while
 carrying upstream's locking intent.]
CVE-2025-21801
