Subject: [PATCH net-next 06/14] devlink: Add parent dev to devlink API

From: Cosmin Ratiu <cratiu@...dia.com>

Upcoming changes to the rate commands need the parent devlink specified.
This change adds a nested 'parent-dev' attribute to the API and helpers
to obtain and put a reference to the parent devlink instance in
info->user_ptr[1].

To avoid deadlocks, the parent devlink is unlocked before obtaining the
main devlink instance that is the target of the request.
A reference to the parent is kept until the end of the request to avoid
it suddenly disappearing.

This means that this reference is of limited use without additional
protection.
