For the drivers that use queue management API, switch to the mode where
core stack holds the netdev instance lock. This affects the following
drivers:
- bnxt
- gve
- netdevsim
Originally I locked only start/stop, but switched to holding the
lock over all iterations to make them look atomic to the device
(feels like it should be easier to reason about).

We seem to be missing a netif_running() check from the devmem
installation path. Starting a queue on a stopped device makes
no sense. We still want to be able to allocate the memory, just
to test that the device is indeed setting up the page pools
in a memory provider compatible way.
This is not a bug fix, because existing drivers check if
the interface is down as part of the ops. But new drivers
shouldn't have to do this, as long as they can correctly
alloc/free while down.

Linus suggested during one of past maintainer summits (in context of
a DMA_BUF discussion) that symbol namespaces can be used to prevent
unwelcome but in-tree code from using all exported functions.
Create a namespace for netdev.
Export netdev_rx_queue_restart(), drivers may want to use it since
it gives them a simple and safe way to restart a queue to apply
config changes. But it's both too low level and too actively developed
to be used outside netdev.

Implement a memory provider that allocates dmabuf devmem in the form of
net_iov.
The provider receives a reference to the struct netdev_dmabuf_binding
via the pool->mp_priv pointer. The driver needs to set this pointer for
the provider in the net_iov.
The provider obtains a reference on the netdev_dmabuf_binding which
guarantees the binding and the underlying mapping remains alive until
the provider is destroyed.
Usage of PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP is required for this memory provide such that
the page_pool can provide the driver with the dma-addrs of the devmem.
Support for PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV is omitted for simplicity & p.order !=
0.
