devlink compat code needs to drop rtnl_lock to take devlink->lock to ensure correct lock ordering. This is problematic because we're not strictly guaranteed that the netdev will not disappear after we re-lock. It may open a possibility of nested ->begin / ->complete calls. Instead of calling into devlink under rtnl_lock take a ref on the devlink instance and make the call after we've dropped rtnl_lock. We (continue to) assume that netdevs have an implicit reference on the devlink returned from ndo_get_devlink_port Note that ndo_get_devlink_port will now get called under rtnl_lock. That should be fine since none of the drivers seem to be taking serious locks inside ndo_get_devlink_port.
