To enable bifurcated device support, rtnl_lock is released before calling
userspace callbacks and asynchronous requests are enabled.
But these changes caused more issues, like bug #809, #816. To reduce the
scope of the problems, the bifurcated device support related changes are
only enabled when it is requested explicitly with new 'enable_bifurcated'
module parameter.
And bifurcated device support is disabled by default.
So the bifurcated device related problems are isolated and they can be
fixed without impacting all use cases.
