timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev-&gt;dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

Read the address into an array on the stack, do the swapping, then
call eth_hw_addr_set().

This big patch sprinkles const on local variables and
function arguments which may refer to netdev-&gt;dev_addr.

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount
of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look
up. To maintain netdev-&gt;dev_addr in this tree we need to make all
the writes to it got through appropriate helpers.

Some of the changes here are not strictly required - const
is sometimes cast off but pointer is not used for writing.
It seems like it's still better to add the const in case
the code changes later or relevant -W flags get enabled
for the build.

No functional changes.

<title>dev_ioctl: split out ndo_eth_ioctl</title>

Most users of ndo_do_ioctl are ethernet drivers that implement
the MII commands SIOCGMIIPHY/SIOCGMIIREG/SIOCSMIIREG, or hardware
timestamping with SIOCSHWTSTAMP/SIOCGHWTSTAMP.

Separate these from the few drivers that use ndo_do_ioctl to
implement SIOCBOND, SIOCBR and SIOCWANDEV commands.

This is a purely cosmetic change intended to help readers find
their way through the implementation.

priv is netdev private data and it cannot be
used after free_netdev() call. Using priv after free_netdev()
can cause UAF bug. Fix it by moving free_netdev() at the end of the
function.

<title>net: tlan: Replace in_irq() usage</title>

<id>urn:sha1:beca92820dc4fd6f2413420c9828b586a1e77df5</id>
<content type='text'>
The driver uses in_irq() to determine if the tlan_priv::lock has to be
acquired in tlan_mii_read_reg() and tlan_mii_write_reg().

The interrupt handler acquires the lock outside of these functions so the
in_irq() check is meant to prevent a lock recursion deadlock. But this
check is incorrect when interrupt force threading is enabled because then
the handler runs in thread context and in_irq() correctly returns false.

The usage of in_*() in drivers is phased out and Linus clearly requested
that code which changes behaviour depending on context should either be
seperated or the context be conveyed in an argument passed by the caller,
which usually knows the context.

tlan_set_timer() has this conditional as well, but this function is only
invoked from task context or the timer callback itself. So it always has to
lock and the check can be removed.

tlan_mii_read_reg(), tlan_mii_write_reg() and tlan_phy_print() are invoked
from interrupt and other contexts.

Split out the actual function body into helper variants which are called
from interrupt context and make the original functions wrappers which
acquire tlan_priv::lock unconditionally.

Minor conflicts in net/mptcp/protocol.h and
tools/testing/selftests/net/Makefile.

In both cases code was added on both sides in the same place
so just keep both.
