[ Upstream commit d32c38256db30a2d55b849e2c77342bc70d58c6e ]

Introduce a new private flag ('DEVLINK_NL_FLAG_NEED_DEV_LOCK') to allow
netlink commands to specify that they need to acquire the device lock in
their pre_doit operation and release it in their post_doit operation.

The reload command will use this flag in the subsequent patch.

No functional changes intended.

<title>devlink: Acquire device lock during netns dismantle</title>

[ Upstream commit e21c52d7814f5768f05224e773644629fe124af2 ]

Device drivers register with devlink from their probe routines (under
the device lock) by acquiring the devlink instance lock and calling
devl_register().

Drivers that support a devlink reload usually implement the
reload_{down, up}() operations in a similar fashion to their remove and
probe routines, respectively.

However, while the remove and probe routines are invoked with the device
lock held, the reload operations are only invoked with the devlink
instance lock held. It is therefore impossible for drivers to acquire
the device lock from their reload operations, as this would result in
lock inversion.

The motivating use case for invoking the reload operations with the
device lock held is in mlxsw which needs to trigger a PCI reset as part
of the reload. The driver cannot call pci_reset_function() as this
function acquires the device lock. Instead, it needs to call
__pci_reset_function_locked which expects the device lock to be held.

To that end, adjust devlink to always acquire the device lock before the
devlink instance lock when performing a reload.

For now, only do that when reload is triggered as part of netns
dismantle. Subsequent patches will handle the case where reload is
explicitly triggered by user space.

In mlx5, there is a devlink instance created for PCI device. Also, one
separate devlink instance is created for auxiliary device that
represents the netdev of uplink port. This relation is currently
invisible to the devlink user.

Benefit from the rel infrastructure and allow for nested devlink
instance to set the relationship for the nested-in devlink instance.
Note that there may be many nested instances, therefore use xarray to
hold the list of rel_indexes for individual nested instances.

<title>devlink: introduce object and nested devlink relationship infra</title>

It is a bit tricky to maintain relationship between devlink objects and
nested devlink instances due to following aspects:

1) Locking. It is necessary to lock the devlink instance that contains
   the object first, only after that to lock the nested instance.
2) Lifetimes. Objects (e.g devlink port) may be removed before
   the nested devlink instance.
3) Notifications. If nested instance changes (e.g. gets
   registered/unregistered) the nested-in object needs to send
   appropriate notifications.

Resolve this by introducing an xarray that holds 1:1 relationships
between devlink object and related nested devlink instance.
Use that xarray index to get the object/nested devlink instance on
the other side.

Provide necessary helpers:
devlink_rel_nested_in_add/clear() to add and clear the relationship.
devlink_rel_nested_in_notify() to call the nested-in object to send
	notifications during nested instance register/unregister/netns
	change.
devlink_rel_devlink_handle_put() to be used by nested-in object fill
	function to fill the nested handle.
