syzbot reports a case of ethtool_ops-&gt;get_link being called without
ops lock:

 bond_check_dev_link+0x1fb/0x4b0 drivers/net/bonding/bond_main.c:864

 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:245

Commit 04efcee6ef8d ("net: hold instance lock during NETDEV_CHANGE")
changed to lockless __linkwatch_sync_dev in ethtool_op_get_link.
All paths except bonding are coming via locked ioctl. Add necessary
locking to bonding.

<title>bonding: check xdp prog when set bond mode</title>

Following operations can trigger a warning[1]:

    ip netns add ns1
    ip netns exec ns1 ip link add bond0 type bond mode balance-rr
    ip netns exec ns1 ip link set dev bond0 xdp obj af_xdp_kern.o sec xdp
    ip netns exec ns1 ip link set bond0 type bond mode broadcast
    ip netns del ns1

When delete the namespace, dev_xdp_uninstall() is called to remove xdp
program on bond dev, and bond_xdp_set() will check the bond mode. If bond
mode is changed after attaching xdp program, the warning may occur.

Some bond modes (broadcast, etc.) do not support native xdp. Set bond mode
with xdp program attached is not good. Add check for xdp program when set
bond mode.

<title>bonding: fix incorrect MAC address setting to receive NS messages</title>

<id>0c5e145a350de3b38cd5ae77a401b12c46fb7c1d</id>
<content type='text'>
When validation on the backup slave is enabled, we need to validate the
Neighbor Solicitation (NS) messages received on the backup slave. To
receive these messages, the correct destination MAC address must be added
to the slave. However, the target in bonding is a unicast address, which
we cannot use directly. Instead, we should first convert it to a
Solicited-Node Multicast Address and then derive the corresponding MAC
address.

Fix the incorrect MAC address setting on both slave_set_ns_maddr() and
slave_set_ns_maddrs(). Since the two function names are similar. Add
some description for the functions. Also only use one mac_addr variable
in slave_set_ns_maddr() to save some code and logic.

<title>net: move misc netdev_lock flavors to a separate header</title>

Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to
a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity
and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching
the header with the helpers).

The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used
in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used
most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

Most of them are already covered by the converted dev_xxx APIs.
Add the locking wrappers for the remaining ones.

Convert all ndo_eth_ioctl invocations to dev_eth_ioctl which does the
locking. Reflow some of the dev_siocxxx to drop else clause.

The name 'netns_local' is confusing. A following commit will export it via
netlink, so let's use a more explicit name.
