Subject: [PATCH v4 net-next 03/27] net: add RCU variant to search for netdev_adjacent link

Currently we have only the RTNL flavour, however we can traverse it while
holding only RCU, so add the RCU search. Add an RCU variant that uses
list_head * as an argument, so that it can be universally used afterwards.

Notes:
    v3  -> v4:
    Use the list argument, instead of bool upper.
    
    v2  -> v3:
    No change.
    
    v1  -> v2:
    No changes.
    
    RFC -> v1:
    rename neighbour_dev_list/all_dev_list to adj_list/all_adj_list and rework
    the naming of functions - to make the use the pattern
    netdev_(all_)(lower|upper)_* . Uninline functions to get better stack
    traces - inline doesn't give much speed improvement, but this way the stack
    traces are meaningful. Remove the unused (through the whole patchset)
    functions - they can easily be added afterwards.
