net: ethtool: add netif_get_link_ksettings() for correct ops-locked use
__ethtool_get_link_ksettings() is exported and called from sysfs
and many drivers. It invokes ethtool_ops->get_link_ksettings
so by our own docs it should be holding netdev lock for ops locked
devices. Looks like commit 2bcf4772e45a ("net: ethtool:
try to protect all callback with netdev instance lock")
missed adding the ops lock here.
There's a number of callers we need to fix up so let's add the
netif_get_link_ksettings() helper first, without any actual
locking changes (this commit is a nop).
Not treating this as a fix because I don't think any driver cares
at this point, but if we want to remove the rtnl_lock protection
this will become critical.
