====================
net: Convert dsa_master_ioctl() to netdev notifier

This is preparatory work in order for Maxim Georgiev to be able to start
the API conversion process of hardware timestamping from ndo_eth_ioctl()
to ndo_hwtstamp_set():
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230331045619.40256-1-glipus@gmail.com/

In turn, Maxim Georgiev's work is a preparation so that Köry Maincent is
able to make the active hardware timestamping layer selectable by user
space.
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20230308135936.761794-1-kory.maincent@bootlin.com/

So, quite some dependency chain.

Before this patch set, DSA prevented the conversion of any networking
driver from the ndo_eth_ioctl() API to the ndo_hwtstamp_set() API,
because it wanted to validate the hwtstamping settings on the DSA
master, and it was only coded up to do this using the old API.

After this patch set, a new netdev notifier exists, which does not
depend on anything that would constitute the "soon-to-be-legacy" API,
but rather, it uses a newly introduced struct kernel_hwtstamp_config,
and it doesn't issue any ioctl at all, being thus compatible both with
ndo_eth_ioctl(), and with the not-yet-introduced, but now possible,
ndo_hwtstamp_set().
