devlink: Allow taking device lock in pre_doit operations
Introduce a new private flag ('DEVLINK_NL_FLAG_NEED_DEV_LOCK') to allow netlink commands to specify that they need to acquire the device lock in their pre_doit operation and release it in their post_doit operation. The reload command will use this flag in the subsequent patch. No functional changes intended.
