net: move misc netdev_lock flavors to a separate header Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching the header with the helpers). The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

net: explain "protection types" for the instance lock Try to define some terminology for which fields are protected by which lock and how. Some fields are protected by both rtnl_lock and instance lock which is hard to talk about without having a "key phrase" to refer to a particular protection scheme. "ops protected" fields are defined later in the series, one by one. Add ASSERT_RTNL() to netdev_ops_assert_locked() for drivers not other instance protection of ops. Hopefully it's not too confusion that netdev_lock_ops() does not match the lock which netdev_ops_assert_locked() will assert, exactly. The noun "ops" is in a different place in the name, so I think it's acceptable...

net: designate queue -> napi linking as "ops protected" netdev netlink is the only reader of netdev_{,rx_}queue->napi, and it already holds netdev->lock. Switch protection of the writes to netdev->lock to "ops protected". The expectation will be now that accessing queue->napi will require netdev->lock for "ops locked" drivers, and rtnl_lock for all other drivers. Current "ops locked" drivers don't require any changes. gve and netdevsim use _locked() helpers right next to netif_queue_set_napi() so they must be holding the instance lock. iavf doesn't call it. bnxt is a bit messy but all paths seem locked.
