DSA network devices rely on having their DSA management interface up and
running otherwise their ndo_open() will return -ENETDOWN. Without doing
this it would not be possible to use DSA devices as netconsole when
configured on the command line. These devices also do not utilize the
upper/lower linking so the check about the netpoll device having upper
is not going to be a problem.

The solution adopted here is identical to the one done for
net/ipv4/ipconfig.c with 728c02089a0e ("net: ipv4: handle DSA enabled
master network devices"), with the network namespace scope being
restricted to that of the process configuring netpoll.

Reducing real_num_tx_queues needs to be in sync with skb queue_mapping
otherwise skbs with queue_mapping greater than real_num_tx_queues
can be sent to the underlying driver and can result in kernel panic.

One such event is running netconsole and enabling VF on the same
device. Or running netconsole and changing number of tx queues via
ethtool on same device.

Callers of netpoll_poll_lock() own NAPI_STATE_SCHED

Callers of netpoll_poll_unlock() have BH blocked between
the NAPI_STATE_SCHED being cleared and poll_lock is released.

We can avoid the spinlock which has no contention, and use cmpxchg()
on poll_owner which we need to set anyway.

This removes a possible lockdep violation after the cited commit,
since sk_busy_loop() re-enables BH before calling busy_poll_stop()
