[PATCH 7.0 31/49] net: export netif_open for self_test usage

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

7.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Marciniszyn (Meta) <mike.marciniszyn@gmail.com>

commit 3fdd33697c2be9184668c89ba4f24a5ecbc8ec51 upstream.

dev_open() already is exported, but drivers which use the netdev
instance lock need to use netif_open() instead. netif_close() is
also already exported [1] so this completes the pairing.

This export is required for the following fbnic self tests to
avoid calling ndo_stop() and ndo_open() in favor of the
more appropriate netif_open() and netif_close() that notifies
any listeners that the interface went down to test and is now
coming back up.
