net: ethtool: make dev->hwprov ops-protected
dev->hwprov tracks the active hwtstamp provider for the device.
Make it ops protected (instance lock if the netdev driver opts
into holding instance lock around callbacks, otherwise rtnl_lock).
hwprov is written and read in:
- drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c
phydev and ops protection don't currently mix, add a comment
- net/ethtool/
as of now holds both rtnl lock and ops lock, this one will
soon only hold one lock or the other
read in:
- net/core/dev_ioctl.c
holds both rtnl lock and ops lock
- net/core/timestamping.c
RCU reader
The new netdev_ops_lock_dereference() helper does not have
"compat" in the name. The name would be quite long and I think
in this case it should be obvious that we need _a_ lock.
netdev_lock_dereference() already exists and means dev->lock
is always expected.
