Jakub suggests renaming the existing assert to match
the netdev_lock_ops_compat() semantics.
We want netdev_assert_locked_ops() to mean - if the driver
is ops locked - check that it's holding the device lock.
The existing helper check for either ops lock or rtnl_lock,
which is the locking behavior of netdev_lock_ops_compat().
The reason for naming divergence is likely that
netdev_ops_assert_locked() predated the _compat() helpers.

Protect xdp_features with netdev->lock. This way pure readers
no longer have to take rtnl_lock to access the field.
This includes calling NETDEV_XDP_FEAT_CHANGE under the lock.
Looks like that's fine for bonding, the only "real" listener,
it's the same as ethtool feature change.
In terms of normal drivers - only GVE need special consideration
(other drivers don't use instance lock or don't support XDP).
It calls xdp_set_features_flag() helper from gve_init_priv() which
in turn is called from gve_reset_recovery() (locked), or prior
to netdev registration. So switch to _locked.

In order to exercise and verify notifiers' locking assumptions,
register dummy notifiers (via register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net).
Share notifier event handler that enforces the assumptions with
lock_debug.c (rename and export rtnl_net_debug_event as
netdev_debug_event). Add ops lock asserts to netdev_debug_event.
