[PATCH net v2] net: Lock lower level devices when updating features

[Cosmin Ratiu <cratiu@nvidia.com>]

__netdev_update_features() expects the netdevice to be ops-locked, but
it gets called recursively on the lower level netdevices to sync their
features, and nothing locks those.

This commit fixes that, with the assumption that it shouldn't be possible
for both higher-level and lover-level netdevices to require the instance
lock, because that would lead to lock dependency warnings.

Without this, playing with higher level (e.g. vxlan) netdevices on top
of netdevices with instance locking enabled can run into issues:
