As discussed previously on the patch set with real fixes the xa_locking
in shapers is a little confusing, remove it.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20260506000628.1501691-2-kuba@kernel.org

The remaining three patches are an attempt to silence AI reviewers,
I believe Sashiko was complaining about these non-issues. Not adding
Reported tags since these are false positives.

The shaper insertion and update code takes xa_lock() explicitly.
Paolo explained that the locking was purely to avoid re-taking
the lock in loops. But it may be mis-read as if it was expecting
readers to be fenced off by xa_lock. Readers of XArray are purely
under RCU. Remove explicit taking of xa_lock().

All writers to hierarchy->shapers are serialized by the netdev
instance lock (or run after netdev is made inaccessible to readers).

If we fail to insert a node into the XArray in net_shaper_pre_insert()
we can free it directly - it was never visible to the RCU readers.

We keep getting misguided patches to fix the flush.
Add a comment.

Various AI scan tools may complain that we don't support resuming
the cap dump. This is true, but the cap dumps are tiny.
net_shaper_nl_cap_pre_dumpit() sets up the dump for just
one device, so the size of the dump scales with NET_SHAPER_SCOPE_MAX (3).

We don't expect them to ever need more than a 4kB page.
Document this.
