Remove dependency on devlink_mutex during devlinks xarray iteration. The reason is that devlink_register/unregister() functions taking devlink_mutex would deadlock during devlink reload operation of devlink instance which registers/unregisters nested devlink instances. The devlinks xarray consistency is ensured internally by xarray. There is a reference taken when working with devlink using devlink_try_get(). But there is no guarantee that devlink pointer picked during xarray iteration is not freed before devlink_try_get() is called. Make sure that devlink_try_get() works with valid pointer. Achieve it by: 1) Splitting devlink_put() so the completion is sent only after grace period. Completion unblocks the devlink_unregister() routine, which is followed-up by devlink_free() 2) During devlinks xa_array iteration, get devlink pointer from xa_array holding RCU read lock and taking reference using devlink_try_get() before unlock.

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.
