[PATCH net-next 4/6] devlink: Require devlink lock during device reload

[Leon Romanovsky <leon@kernel.org>]

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>

Devlink reload was implemented as a special command which does _SET_
operation, but doesn't take devlink->lock, while recursive devlink
calls that were part of .reload_up()/.reload_down() sequence took it.

This fragile flow was possible due to holding a big devlink lock
(devlink_mutex), which effectively stopped all devlink activities,
even unrelated to reloaded devlink.

So let's make sure that devlink reload behaves as other commands.
