devlink: Always use user_ptr[0] for devlink and simplify post_doit
Currently devlink instance is searched on all doit() operations. But it is optionally stored into user_ptr[0]. This requires rediscovering devlink again doing post_doit(). Few devlink commands related to port shared buffers needs 3 pointers (devlink, devlink_port, and devlink_sb) while executing doit commands. Though devlink pointer can be derived from the devlink_port during post_doit() operation when doit() callback has acquired devlink instance lock, relying on such scheme to access devlik pointer makes code very fragile. Hence, to avoid ambiguity in post_doit() and to avoid searching devlink instance again, simplify code by always storing devlink instance in user_ptr[0] and derive devlink_sb pointer in their respective callback routines.
