net: hold netdev instance lock during rtnetlink operations

To preserve the atomicity, hold the lock while applying multiple
attributes. The major issue with a full conversion to the instance
lock are software nesting devices (bonding/team/vrf/etc). Those
devices call into the core stack for their lower (potentially
real hw) devices. To avoid explicitly wrapping all those places
into instance lock/unlock, introduce new API boundaries:

- (some) existing dev_xxx calls are now considered "external"
  (to drivers) APIs and they transparently grab the instance
  lock if needed (dev_api.c)
- new netif_xxx calls are internal core stack API (naming is
  sketchy, I've tried netdev_xxx_locked per Jakub's suggestion,
  but it feels a bit verbose; but happy to get back to this
  naming scheme if this is the preference)

This avoids touching most of the existing ioctl/sysfs/drivers paths.

Note the special handling of ndo_xxx_slave operations: I exploit
the fact that none of the drivers that call these functions
need/use instance lock. At the same time, they use dev_xxx
APIs, so the lower device has to be unlocked.

Changes in unregister_netdevice_many_notify (to protect dev->state
with instance lock) trigger lockdep - the loop over close_list
(mostly from cleanup_net) introduces spurious ordering issues.
netdev_lock_cmp_fn has a justification on why it's ok to suppress
for now.
