This fixes a possible UAF in if_nlmsg_size(),
which can run without RTNL.

Add rcu protection to "struct dpll_pin"

Move netdev_dpll_pin() from netdevice.h to dpll.h to
decrease name pollution.

Note: This looks possible to no longer acquire RTNL in
netdev_dpll_pin_assign() later in net-next.

v2: do not force rcu_read_lock() in rtnl_dpll_pin_size() (Jiri Pirko)

<title>net: phy: Introduce ethernet link topology representation</title>

Link topologies containing multiple network PHYs attached to the same
net_device can be found when using a PHY as a media converter for use
with an SFP connector, on which an SFP transceiver containing a PHY can
be used.

With the current model, the transceiver's PHY can't be used for
operations such as cable testing, timestamping, macsec offload, etc.

The reason being that most of the logic for these configuration, coming
from either ethtool netlink or ioctls tend to use netdev-&gt;phydev, which
in multi-phy systems will reference the PHY closest to the MAC.

Introduce a numbering scheme allowing to enumerate PHY devices that
belong to any netdev, which can in turn allow userspace to take more
precise decisions with regard to each PHY's configuration.

The numbering is maintained per-netdev, in a phy_device_list.
The numbering works similarly to a netdevice's ifindex, with
identifiers that are only recycled once INT_MAX has been reached.

This prevents races that could occur between PHY listing and SFP
transceiver removal/insertion.

The identifiers are assigned at phy_attach time, as the numbering
depends on the netdevice the phy is attached to.

There are multiple ways to query for the carrier state: through
rtnetlink, sysfs, and (possibly) ethtool. Synchronize linkwatch
work before these operations so that we don't have a situation
where userspace queries the carrier state between the driver's
carrier off-&gt;on transition and linkwatch running and expects it
to work, when really (at least) TX cannot work until linkwatch
has run.

I previously posted a longer explanation of how this applies to
wireless [1] but with this wireless can simply query the state
before sending data, to ensure the kernel is ready for it.
