[RFC,net-next,0/4] net: Hold netdev instance lock during ndo operations

Message

As the gradual purging of rtnl continues, start grabbing netdev
instance lock in more places so we can get to the state where
most paths are working without rtnl. Start with requiring the
drivers that use shaper api (and later queue mgmt api) to work
with both rtnl and netdev instance lock. Eventually we might
attempt to drop rtnl. This mostly affects iavf, gve, bnxt and
netdev sim (as the drivers that implement shaper/queue mgmt)
so those drivers are converted in the process.

This is part one of the process, the next step is to do similar locking
for the rest of ndo handlers that are being called from sysfs/ethtool/netlink.
