Add helpers to "lock a netdev in a backward-compatible way", which for ops-locked netdevs will mean take the instance lock. For drivers which haven't opted into the ops locking we'll take rtnl_lock. The scoped foreach is dropping and re-taking the lock for each device, even if prev and next are both under rtnl_lock. I hope that's fine since we expect that netdev nl to be mostly supported by modern drivers, and modern drivers should also opt into the instance locking. Note that these helpers are mostly needed for queue related state, because drivers modify queue config in their ops in a non-atomic way. Or differently put, queue changes don't have a clear-cut API like NAPI configuration. Any state that can should just use the instance lock directly, not the "compat" hacks.
