devlink: protect devlink dump by the instance lock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Take the instance lock around devlink_nl_fill() when dumping,
doit takes it already.

We are only dumping basic info so in the worst case we were risking
data races around the reload statistics. Until the big devlink mutex
was removed all relevant code was protected by it, so the missing
instance lock was not exposed.
