Vladimir Oltean c146f9bc19 net: dsa: hold rtnl_mutex when calling dsa_master_{setup,teardown}
DSA needs to simulate master tracking events when a binding is first
with a DSA master established and torn down, in order to give drivers
the simplifying guarantee that ->master_state_change calls are made
only when the master's readiness state to pass traffic changes.
master_state_change() provide a operational bool that DSA driver can use
to understand if DSA master is operational or not.
To avoid races, we need to block the reception of
NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_CHANGE/NETDEV_GOING_DOWN events in the netdev notifier
chain while we are changing the master's dev->dsa_ptr (this changes what
netdev_uses_dsa(dev) reports).

The dsa_master_setup() and dsa_master_teardown() functions optionally
require the rtnl_mutex to be held, if the tagger needs the master to be
promiscuous, these functions call dev_set_promiscuity(). Move the
rtnl_lock() from that function and make it top-level.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
