Can we use a replay mechanism, like we do in TC offloads and VxLAN/UDP
ports? The driver which lost config can ask for the rss contexts to be
"replayed" and the core will issue a series of ->create calls for all
existing entries?
Regarding the lock itself - can we hide it under ethtool_rss_lock(dev)
/ ethtool_rss_unlock(dev) helpers?
