Stanislav Fomichev 0a13c1e0a4 net: revert to lockless TC_SETUP_BLOCK and TC_SETUP_FT
There is a couple of places from which we can arrive to ndo_setup_tc
with TC_SETUP_BLOCK/TC_SETUP_FT:
- netlink
- netlink notifier
- netdev notifier

Locking netdev too deep in this call chain seems to be problematic
(especially assuming some/all of the call_netdevice_notifiers
NETDEV_UNREGISTER) might soon be running with the instance lock).
Revert to lockless ndo_setup_tc for TC_SETUP_BLOCK/TC_SETUP_FT. NFT
framework already takes care of most of the locking. Document
the assumptions.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
