mainlining shenanigans
04d075b7aa
Removal of the mlxsw driver on Spectrum-2 platforms hits an ASSERT_RTNL()
in Spectrum-2 ACL Bloom filter and in ERP removal paths. This happens
because the multicast router implementation in Spectrum-2 relies on ACLs.
Taking the RTNL lock upon driver removal is useless since the driver first
removes its ports and unregisters from notifiers so concurrent writes
cannot happen at that time. The assertions were originally put as a
reminder for future work involving ERP background optimization, but having
these assertions only during addition serves this purpose as well.
Therefore remove the ASSERT_RTNL() in both places related to ERP and Bloom
filter removal.

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.
