[PATCH net/gve] gve: fix early boot deadlock between rtnl_lock and service_task_mutex

Hello Netdev Team,

We hit a reproducible hard deadlock (AB-BA circular lock inversion) during early boot on EL10 / RHEL 10 kernels when running Google Cloud Platform VMs with the gve driver:

1. Thread A (NetworkManager): Holds rtnl_lock during __dev_open -> gve_open -> gve_queues_start -> gve_add_napi, and attempts to acquire service_task_mutex.
2. Thread B (gve_service_task worker): Holds service_task_mutex, and calls reset recovery which attempts to acquire rtnl_lock.

Serial Console Trace:
"INFO: task NetworkManager:856 is blocked on a mutex likely owned by task NetworkManager:856" at RIP: copy_net_ns+0x1a4 / selinux_netlbl_sk_security_free.

- Working Kernels: 6.12.0-246.el10 and 6.12.0-233.el10.
