sja1105_fdb_add() runs from the dsa_owq, and sja1105_port_mcast_flood()
runs from switchdev_deferred_process_work(). Prior to the blamed commit,
they used to be indirectly serialized through the rtnl_lock(), which
no longer holds true because dsa_owq dropped that.
So, it is now possible that we traverse the static config BLK_IDX_L2_LOOKUP
elements concurrently compared to when we change them, in
sja1105_static_fdb_change(). That is not ideal, since it might result in
data corruption.
Introduce a mutex which serializes accesses to the hardware FDB and to
the static config elements for the L2 Address Lookup table.
I can't find a good reason to add locking around sja1105_fdb_dump().
I'll add it later if needed.

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 Restructured Text 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.
