[net-next,v5,00/12] net: Hold netdev instance lock during ndo operations

Message

As the gradual purging of rtnl continues, start grabbing netdev
instance lock in more places so we can get to the state where
most paths are working without rtnl. Start with requiring the
drivers that use shaper api (and later queue mgmt api) to work
with both rtnl and netdev instance lock. Eventually we might
attempt to drop rtnl. This mostly affects iavf, gve, bnxt and
netdev sim (as the drivers that implement shaper/queue mgmt)
so those drivers are converted in the process.

call_netdevice_notifiers locking is very inconsistent and might need
a separate follow up. Some notified events are covered by the
instance lock, some are not, which might complicate the driver
expectations.

Changes since v4:
- reword documentation about rtnl_lock and instance lock relation
  (Jakub)
- do s/RTNL/rtnl_lock/ in the documentation (Jakub)
- mention dev_xxx/netif_xxx distinction (Paolo)
- add new patch to add request_ops_lock opt-in (Jakub)
- drop patch that adds shaper API to dummy (Jakub)
- drop () around dev in netdev_need_ops_lock

Changes since v3:
- add instance lock to netdev_lockdep_set_classes,
  move lock_set_cmp_fn to happen after set_class (NIPA)

Changes since v2:
- new patch to replace dev_addr_sem with instance lock (forwarding tests)
- CONFIG_LOCKDEP around netdev_lock_cmp_fn (Jakub)
- remove netif_device_present check from dev_setup_tc (bpf_offload.py)
- reorder bpf_devs_locks and instance lock ordering in bpf map
  offload (bpf_offload.py)

Changes since v1:
- fix netdev_set_mtu_ext_locked in the wrong place ([e-mail])
- add missing depend on CONFIG_NET_SHAPER for dummy device
  ([e-mail])
  - not sure we need to apply dummy device patch..
- need_netdev_ops_lock -> netdev_need_ops_lock (Jakub)
- remove netdev_assert_locked near napi_xxx_locked calls (Jakub)
- fix netdev_lock_cmp_fn comment and line length (Jakub)
- fix kdoc style of dev_api.c routines (Jakub)
- reflow dev_setup_tc to avoid indent (Jakub)
- keep tc_can_offload checks outside of dev_setup_tc (Jakub)

Changes since RFC:
- other control paths are protected
- bntx has been converted to mostly depend on netdev instance lock
