Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] net: Introduce netdev_ops_equal

DSA plays some tricks with overloading of a network device's netdev_ops
in order to inject statistics, register dumps or various other
operations. Because the pointer to the netdev_ops is not the same as the
one the network driver registers, checks like theses:

dev->netdev_ops == &foo_ops

will no longer work. In order to allow such tests to continue, introduce
a ndo_equal() function pointer which can be specified by whomever
assignes the net_device::netdev_ops, and in introduce a convenience
function: netdev_ops_equal() which either calls that NDO, or defaults to
a simple pointer comparison.

A subsequent patch will do a tree wide conversion to the helper.
