I don't see great value in splitting this patch in (1) unused helpers
(2) actual fix that uses them. Especially since it creates confusion -
it is nowhere made clear in this commit message that it is just
preparatory work.

I think this is missing a shim definition for when CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV
is disabled.

Does C allow you to not return anything here?

A kernel-doc comment would be great. It looks like it's not returning
whether the port object is deferred, but whether the _action_ given by
@nt on the @obj is deferred. This further distinguishes between deferred
additions and deferred removals.

Why does rtnl_lock() have to be held? To fully allow switchdev_deferred_process()
to run to completion, aka its dfitem->func() as well?
