[PATCH] devlink: use devlink lock on DEVLINK_CMD_PORT_SPLIT

[Niels Dossche <niels.dossche@ugent.be>]

devlink_nl_cmd_port_split_doit is executed without taking the devlink
instance lock. This function calls to devlink_port_get_from_info, which
calls devlink_port_get_from_attrs, which calls
devlink_port_get_by_index, which accesses devlink->port_list without the
instance lock taken, while in other places devlink->port_list access
always happens with the instance lock taken. The documentation in the
struct also say that the devlink lock protects the port_list.

The flag for no locking was added after refactoring the code to no
longer use a global lock.

Fixes: 2406e7e546b2 ("devlink: Add per devlink instance lock")
