Switch to netif_disable_lro which assumes the caller holds the instance
lock. inetdev_init is called for blackhole device (which sw device and
doesn't grab instance lock) and from REGISTER/UNREGISTER notifiers.
We already hold the instance lock for REGISTER notifier during
netns change and we'll soon hold the lock during other paths.
