[PATCH v3 net-next 00/11] net: Fix netdev adjacency tracking

The netdev adjacency tracking is failing to create proper dependencies
for some topologies. For example this topology

+--------+
| myvrf |
+--------+
| |
| +---------+
| | macvlan |
| +---------+
| |
+----------+
| bridge |
+----------+
|
+--------+
| bond1 |
+--------+
|
+--------+
| eth3 |
+--------+

hits 1 of 2 problems depending on the order of enslavement. The base set of
commands for both cases:

ip link add bond1 type bond
ip link set bond1 up
ip link set eth3 down
ip link set eth3 master bond1
ip link set eth3 up

ip link add bridge type bridge
ip link set bridge up
ip link add macvlan link bridge type macvlan
ip link set macvlan up

ip link add myvrf type vrf table 1234
ip link set myvrf up

ip link set bridge master myvrf

Case 1 enslave macvlan to the vrf before enslaving the bond to the bridge:

ip link set macvlan master myvrf
ip link set bond1 master bridge

Attempts to delete the VRF:
ip link delete myvrf

trigger the BUG in __netdev_adjacent_dev_remove:

When the BUG is converted to a WARN_ON it shows 4 missing adjacencies:
eth3 - myvrf, mvrf - eth3, bond1 - myvrf and myvrf - bond1

All of those are because the __netdev_upper_dev_link function does not
properly link macvlan lower devices to myvrf when it is enslaved.

The second case just flips the ordering of the enslavements:
ip link set bond1 master bridge
ip link set macvlan master myvrf

Then run:
ip link delete bond1
ip link delete myvrf

The vrf delete command hangs because myvrf has a reference that has not
been released. In this case the removal code does not account for 2 paths
between eth3 and myvrf - one from bridge to vrf and the other through the
macvlan.

Rather than try to maintain a linked list of all upper and lower devices
per netdevice, only track the direct neighbors. The remaining stack can
be determined by recursively walking the neighbors.

The existing netdev_for_each_all_upper_dev_rcu,
netdev_for_each_all_lower_dev and netdev_for_each_all_lower_dev_rcu macros
are replaced with APIs that walk the upper and lower device lists. The
new APIs take a callback function and a data arg that is passed to the
callback for each device in the list. Drivers using the old macros are
converted in separate patches to make it easier on reviewers. It is an
API conversion only; no functional change is intended.

v3
- address Stephen's comment to simplify logic and remove typecasts

v2
- fixed bond0 references in cover-letter
- fixed definition of netdev_next_lower_dev_rcu to mirror the upper_dev
version.
