Add new ndo to get the xmit slave of master device.
Caller should call dev_put() when it no longer works with
slave netdevice.
User can ask to get the xmit slave assume all the slaves can
transmit by set all_slaves arg to true.

The rcu_read_lock and reference seem overkill for a general purpose
helper. When this set goes in I want to make modifications for use with
XDP and that does not need either.

Looking at the mlx5 changes, you could easily handle that in the driver.
