[PATCH net 1/3] net/mlx5: qos: Restrict RTNL area to avoid a lock cycle

[Tariq Toukan <tariqt@nvidia.com>]

From: Cosmin Ratiu <cratiu@nvidia.com>

A lock dependency cycle exists where:
1. mlx5_ib_roce_init -> mlx5_core_uplink_netdev_event_replay ->
mlx5_blocking_notifier_call_chain (takes notifier_rwsem) ->
mlx5e_mdev_notifier_event -> mlx5_netdev_notifier_register ->
register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net (takes rtnl)
=> notifier_rwsem -> rtnl

2. mlx5e_probe -> _mlx5e_probe ->
mlx5_core_uplink_netdev_set (takes uplink_netdev_lock) ->
mlx5_blocking_notifier_call_chain (takes notifier_rwsem)
=> uplink_netdev_lock -> notifier_rwsem

3: devlink_nl_rate_set_doit -> devlink_nl_rate_set ->
mlx5_esw_devlink_rate_leaf_tx_max_set -> esw_qos_devlink_rate_to_mbps ->
mlx5_esw_qos_max_link_speed_get (takes rtnl) ->
mlx5_esw_qos_lag_link_speed_get_locked ->
mlx5_uplink_netdev_get (takes uplink_netdev_lock)
=> rtnl -> uplink_netdev_lock
=> BOOM! (lock cycle)

Fix that by restricting the rtnl-protected section to just the necessary
part, the call to netdev_master_upper_dev_get and speed querying, so
that the last lock dependency is avoided and the cycle doesn't close.
This is safe because mlx5_uplink_netdev_get uses netdev_hold to keep the
uplink netdev alive while its master device is queried.

Use this opportunity to rename the ambiguously-named "hold_rtnl_lock"
argument to "take_rtnl" and remove the "_locked" suffix from
mlx5_esw_qos_lag_link_speed_get_locked.
