net/mlx5: qos: Restrict RTNL area to avoid a lock cycle
A lock dependency cycle exists where: 1. mlx5_ib_roce_init -> mlx5_core_uplink_netdev_event_replay -> mlx5_blocking_notifier_call_chain (takes notifier_rwsem) -> mlx5e_mdev_notifier_event -> mlx5_netdev_notifier_register -> register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net (takes rtnl) => notifier_rwsem -> rtnl 2. mlx5e_probe -> _mlx5e_probe -> mlx5_core_uplink_netdev_set (takes uplink_netdev_lock) -> mlx5_blocking_notifier_call_chain (takes notifier_rwsem) => uplink_netdev_lock -> notifier_rwsem 3: devlink_nl_rate_set_doit -> devlink_nl_rate_set -> mlx5_esw_devlink_rate_leaf_tx_max_set -> esw_qos_devlink_rate_to_mbps -> mlx5_esw_qos_max_link_speed_get (takes rtnl) -> mlx5_esw_qos_lag_link_speed_get_locked -> mlx5_uplink_netdev_get (takes uplink_netdev_lock) => rtnl -> uplink_netdev_lock => BOOM! (lock cycle) Fix that by restricting the rtnl-protected section to just the necessary part, the call to netdev_master_upper_dev_get and speed querying, so that the last lock dependency is avoided and the cycle doesn't close. This is safe because mlx5_uplink_netdev_get uses netdev_hold to keep the uplink netdev alive while its master device is queried. Use this opportunity to rename the ambiguously-named "hold_rtnl_lock" argument to "take_rtnl" and remove the "_locked" suffix from mlx5_esw_qos_lag_link_speed_get_locked.
