Subject: [patch net-next 1/3] devlink: move devlink reload notifications back in between _down() and _up() calls

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@...dia.com>

This effectively reverts commit 05a7f4a8dff1 ("devlink: Break parameter
notification sequence to be before/after unload/load driver").

Cited commit resolved a problem in mlx5 params implementation,
when param notification code accessed memory previously freed
during reload.

Now, when the params can be registered and unregistered when devlink
instance is registered, mlx5 code unregisters the problematic param
during devlink reload. The fix is therefore no longer needed.

Current behavior is a it problematic, as it sends DEL notifications even
in potential case when reload_down() call fails which might confuse
userspace notifications listener.

So move the reload notifications back where they were originally in
between reload_down() and reload_up() calls.
