Introduce a new private flag ('DEVLINK_NL_FLAG_NEED_DEV_LOCK') to allow
netlink commands to specify that they need to acquire the device lock in
their pre_doit operation and release it in their post_doit operation.
The reload command will use this flag in the subsequent patch.
No functional changes intended.
