netdevsim supports netpoll. Make sure we don't call napi_complete()
from it, since it may not be scheduled. Breno reports hitting a
warning in napi_complete_done():

WARNING: CPU: 14 PID: 104 at net/core/dev.c:6592 napi_complete_done+0x2cc/0x560
  __napi_poll+0x2d8/0x3a0
  handle_softirqs+0x1fe/0x710

This is presumably after netpoll stole the SCHED bit prematurely.

Cover three recent cases:
1. missing ops locking for the lowers during netdev_sync_lower_features
2. missing locking for dev_set_promiscuity (plus netdev_ops_assert_locked
   with a comment on why/when it's needed)
3. rcu lock during team_change_rx_flags

Verified that each one triggers when the respective fix is reverted.
Not sure about the placement, but since it all relies on teaming,
added to the teaming directory.

One ugly bit is that I add NETIF_F_LRO to netdevsim; there is no way
to trigger netdev_sync_lower_features without it.

<title>netdevsim: Mark NAPI ID on skb in nsim_rcv</title>

<content type='text'>
Previously, nsim_rcv was not marking the NAPI ID on the skb, leading to
applications seeing a napi ID of 0 when using SO_INCOMING_NAPI_ID.

To add to the userland confusion, netlink appears to correctly report
the NAPI IDs for netdevsim queues but the resulting file descriptor from
a call to accept() was reporting a NAPI ID of 0.

Don't error out on large MTU if XDP is multi-buf.
The ping test now tests ping with XDP and high MTU.
netdevsim doesn't actually run the prog (yet?) so
it doesn't matter if the prog was multi-buf..

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.

For the drivers that use queue management API, switch to the mode where
core stack holds the netdev instance lock. This affects the following
drivers:
- bnxt
- gve
- netdevsim

Originally I locked only start/stop, but switched to holding the
lock over all iterations to make them look atomic to the device
(feels like it should be easier to reason about).

For the drivers that use shaper API, switch to the mode where
core stack holds the netdev lock. This affects two drivers:

* iavf - already grabs netdev lock in ndo_open/ndo_stop, so mostly
         remove these
* netdevsim - switch to _locked APIs to avoid deadlock

iavf_close diff is a bit confusing, the existing call looks like this:
  iavf_close() {
    netdev_lock()
    ..
    netdev_unlock()
    wait_event_timeout(down_waitqueue)
  }

I change it to the following:
  netdev_lock()
  iavf_close() {
    ..
    netdev_unlock()
    wait_event_timeout(down_waitqueue)
    netdev_lock() // reusing this lock call
  }
  netdev_unlock()

Since I'm reusing existing netdev_lock call, so it looks like I only
add netdev_unlock.
