Vladimir Oltean e1eea81120 net: dsa: introduce a dsa_port_from_netdev public helper
As its implementation shows, this is synonimous with calling
dsa_slave_dev_check followed by dsa_slave_to_port, so it is quite simple
already and provides functionality which is already there.

However there is now a need for these functions outside dsa_priv.h, for
example in drivers that perform mirroring and redirection through
tc-flower offloads (they are given raw access to the flow_cls_offload
structure), where they need to call this function on act->dev.

But simply exporting dsa_slave_to_port would make it non-inline and
would result in an extra function call in the hotpath, as can be seen
for example in sja1105:

Before:

000006dc <sja1105_xmit>:
{
 6dc:	e92d4ff0 	push	{r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, sl, fp, lr}
 6e0:	e1a04000 	mov	r4, r0
 6e4:	e591958c 	ldr	r9, [r1, #1420]	; 0x58c <- Inline dsa_slave_to_port
 6e8:	e1a05001 	mov	r5, r1
 6ec:	e24dd004 	sub	sp, sp, #4
	u16 tx_vid = dsa_8021q_tx_vid(dp->ds, dp->index);
 6f0:	e1c901d8 	ldrd	r0, [r9, #24]
 6f4:	ebfffffe 	bl	0 <dsa_8021q_tx_vid>
			6f4: R_ARM_CALL	dsa_8021q_tx_vid
	u8 pcp = netdev_txq_to_tc(netdev, queue_mapping);
 6f8:	e1d416b0 	ldrh	r1, [r4, #96]	; 0x60
	u16 tx_vid = dsa_8021q_tx_vid(dp->ds, dp->index);
 6fc:	e1a08000 	mov	r8, r0

After:

000006e4 <sja1105_xmit>:
{
 6e4:	e92d4ff0 	push	{r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, sl, fp, lr}
 6e8:	e1a04000 	mov	r4, r0
 6ec:	e24dd004 	sub	sp, sp, #4
	struct dsa_port *dp = dsa_slave_to_port(netdev);
 6f0:	e1a00001 	mov	r0, r1
{
 6f4:	e1a05001 	mov	r5, r1
	struct dsa_port *dp = dsa_slave_to_port(netdev);
 6f8:	ebfffffe 	bl	0 <dsa_slave_to_port>
			6f8: R_ARM_CALL	dsa_slave_to_port
 6fc:	e1a09000 	mov	r9, r0
	u16 tx_vid = dsa_8021q_tx_vid(dp->ds, dp->index);
 700:	e1c001d8 	ldrd	r0, [r0, #24]
 704:	ebfffffe 	bl	0 <dsa_8021q_tx_vid>
			704: R_ARM_CALL	dsa_8021q_tx_vid

Because we want to avoid possible performance regressions, introduce
this new function which is designed to be public.

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.
