net: change ndo_set_rx_mode_async return type to int

Change the return type of ndo_set_rx_mode_async from void to int to
allow drivers to report failures back to the core stack. This is a
prerequisite for adding retry logic in the core when drivers fail to
program RX filters (e.g. bnxt VF when PF is unavailable).

All existing implementations return 0 for now, maintaining current
behavior.

net: ethtool: optionally skip rtnl_lock on Netlink path for SET ops

Make ethtool not take rtnl_lock for SET commands when operation
is performed on an ops-locked driver. cfg/cfg_pending are now
ops-locked, since only ethtool modifies them.

Some SET driver callbacks will still need rtnl_lock, most notably
those which may end up calling netdev_update_features() or the qdisc
layer (via netif_set_real_num_tx_queues()). Let drivers selectively
opt back into the rtnl_lock with a new bitfield in ops.

We need two helpers since Netlink and ioctl cmds have different
values. Keep the helpers side by side in common.h to make sure
they get updated together, even tho they will only get called
from ioctl.c and netlink.c.

SET commands which don't use ethnl_default_set_doit() are converted
by subsequent commits.

net: ethtool: optionally skip rtnl_lock on Netlink path for GET ops

ethnl_default_doit() and ethnl_default_dump_one() are both used
exclusively for GET callbacks (former to get info for a single
device or get global strings). ops-locked devices don't need
rtnl_lock for GET callbacks, stop taking it.

Introduce an opt-out mechanism for devices which use phylink (fbnic)
since phylink currently depends on rtnl_lock protection. Subsequent
patches will add more exceptions, anyway. Practically the new helpers
for judging if command needs rtnl_lock could also call
netdev_need_ops_lock() but I find that it makes the code in the callers
slightly less obvious.

Add a helper for IOCTLs already, even tho it's unused so that
we can keep them in sync as the series progresses.

This is the first user-visible step of moving ethtool ops out
from under rtnl. Subsequent patches do the same for SET ops,
as well as the ioctl path.

net: convert netmem_tx flag to enum

Devices that support netmem TX previously set dev->netmem_tx = true.
This was checked in validate_xmit_unreadable_skb() to drop unreadable
skbs (skbs with dmabuf-backed frags) before they reach drivers that
would mishandle them or devices that would not have the iommu mappings
for them.

A subsequent patch will introduce a third state for virtual devices
that forward unreadable skbs without ever performing DMA on them. To
prepare for that, convert the boolean dev->netmem_tx into an enum:

NETMEM_TX_NONE - no netmem TX support (drop unreadable skbs)
NETMEM_TX_DMA - full support, device does DMA

Update the existing NIC drivers (bnxt, gve, mlx5, fbnic) and the
validators in net/core to use the new enum. No functional change.

The DW IP has two distinct PCS address ranges cooresponding
to the C45 PCS registers.

The shim translates the PCS addr/regno into specific CSR writes
into one of those two zero-relative ranges.

This patch fixes a one off in the test that could allow an invalid
CSR write if an addr == 2 was called.

There are is of yet, no real impact for the bug as no PCS writes are
present.

eth: fbnic: fix double-free of PCS on phylink creation failure

fbnic_phylink_create() stores the newly allocated PCS in fbn->pcs and
then calls phylink_create(). When phylink_create() fails, the error path
correctly destroys the PCS via xpcs_destroy_pcs(), but the caller,
fbnic_netdev_alloc(), responds by invoking fbnic_netdev_free() which
calls fbnic_phylink_destroy(). That function finds fbn->pcs non-NULL and
calls xpcs_destroy_pcs() a second time on the already-freed object,
triggering a refcount underflow use-after-free:

[ 1.940184] fbnic 0000:01:00.0: Netdev allocation failed

Instead of calling fbnic_phylink_destroy(), the prior initialization of
netdev should just be unrolled with free_netdev() and clearing
fbd->netdev.

Clearing fbd->netdev to NULL avoids UAF in init_failure_mode where
callers guard by checking !fbd->netdev, such as fbnic_mdio_read_pmd().
These callers remain active even after a failed probe, so fdb->netdev
still needs to be cleared.
