[PATCH net v6] net: dsa: mt7530: fix .get_stats64 sleeping in atomic context

[Daniel Golle]

The .get_stats64 callback runs in atomic context, but on
MDIO-connected switches every register read acquires the MDIO bus
mutex, which can sleep:

For MDIO-connected switches, poll MIB counters asynchronously using a
delayed workqueue every second and let .get_stats64 return the cached
values under a spinlock. A mod_delayed_work() call on each read
triggers an immediate refresh so counters stay responsive when queried
more frequently.

MMIO-connected switches (MT7988, EN7581, AN7583) are not affected
because their regmap does not sleep, so they continue to read MIB
counters directly in .get_stats64.

v6:
 * reintroduce .teardown() for cancel_delayed_work_sync(), drop
   cancel_delayed_work_sync() from .remove()

v5:
 * spin_lock_init() and INIT_DELAYED_WORK() in probe()
 * drop teardown as cancel_delayed_work_sync() in remove() is
   sufficient and now symmetric with init happening in probe()

v4:
 * extract mt7530_stats_refresh() helper from mt7530_stats_poll()
   -> mt7530_stats_poll() now just refreshes and re-arms
 * call helper synchronously in mt753x_setup() to seed the cache
 * avoid zeroed counters during the first poll interval
 * avoid INITIAL_JIFFIES vs stats_last==0 wraparound on 32-bit
 * swap deprecated system_wq for system_percpu_wq in get_stats64
 * keeps on-demand refresh on the same queue as schedule_*_work

v3:
 * move `stats_last` access under the spinlock to avoid potential race

v2:
 * use spin_lock_bh()/spin_unlock_bh() to prevent potential deadlock
 * rate-limit mod_delayed_work() refresh to at most once per 100ms
 * move cancel_delayed_work_sync() after dsa_unregister_switch()
 * add mt753x_teardown() callback to cancel the stats work
 * fix commit message
