[ Upstream commit f71c549b26a33fd62f1e9c7deeba738bfc73fbfc ]

Previously, nsim_rcv was not marking the NAPI ID on the skb, leading to
applications seeing a napi ID of 0 when using SO_INCOMING_NAPI_ID.

To add to the userland confusion, netlink appears to correctly report
the NAPI IDs for netdevsim queues but the resulting file descriptor from
a call to accept() was reporting a NAPI ID of 0.

[ Upstream commit 1264971017b4d7141352a7fe29021bdfce5d885d ]

netdevsim supports netpoll. Make sure we don't call napi_complete()
from it, since it may not be scheduled. Breno reports hitting a
warning in napi_complete_done():

WARNING: CPU: 14 PID: 104 at net/core/dev.c:6592 napi_complete_done+0x2cc/0x560
  __napi_poll+0x2d8/0x3a0

This is presumably after netpoll stole the SCHED bit prematurely.

<title>xfrm: Add explicit dev to .xdo_dev_state_{add,delete,free}</title>

[ Upstream commit 43eca05b6a3b917c600e10cc6b06bfa57fa57401 ]

Previously, device driver IPSec offload implementations would fall into
two categories:
1. Those that used xso.dev to determine the offload device.
2. Those that used xso.real_dev to determine the offload device.

The first category didn't work with bonding while the second did.
In a non-bonding setup the two pointers are the same.

This commit adds explicit pointers for the offload netdevice to
.xdo_dev_state_add() / .xdo_dev_state_delete() / .xdo_dev_state_free()
which eliminates the confusion and allows drivers from the first
category to work with bonding.

xso.real_dev now becomes a private pointer managed by the bonding
driver.

In order to exercise and verify notifiers' locking assumptions,
register dummy notifiers (via register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net).
Share notifier event handler that enforces the assumptions with
lock_debug.c (rename and export rtnl_net_debug_event as
netdev_debug_event). Add ops lock asserts to netdev_debug_event.

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.

Protect all ethtool callbacks and PHY related state with the netdev
instance lock, for drivers which want / need to have their ops
instance-locked. Basically take the lock everywhere we take rtnl_lock.
It was tempting to take the lock in ethnl_ops_begin(), but turns
out we actually nest those calls (when generating notifications).
