RDMA/mlx5: Track netdev to avoid deadlock during netdev notifier unregister
When removing a network namespace with mlx5 devlink instance being in it, following callchain is performed: cleanup_net (takes down_read(&pernet_ops_rwsem) devlink_pernet_pre_exit() devlink_reload() mlx5_devlink_reload_down() mlx5_unload_one_devl_locked() mlx5_detach_device() del_adev() mlx5r_remove() __mlx5_ib_remove() mlx5_ib_roce_cleanup() mlx5_remove_netdev_notifier() unregister_netdevice_notifier (takes down_write(&pernet_ops_rwsem) This deadlocks. Resolve this by converting to register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net() which does not take pernet_ops_rwsem and moves the notifier block around according to netdev it takes as arg. Use previously introduced netdev added/removed events to track uplink netdev to be used for register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net() purposes.
