    net: sched: ingress: set 'unlocked' flag for Qdisc ops · 7a096d57

    To remove rtnl lock dependency in tc filter update API when using ingress
    Qdisc, set QDISC_CLASS_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED flag in ingress Qdisc_class_ops.
    
    Ingress Qdisc ops don't require any modifications to be used without rtnl
    lock on tc filter update path. Ingress implementation never changes its
    q->block and only releases it when Qdisc is being destroyed. This means it
    is enough for RTM_{NEWTFILTER|DELTFILTER|GETTFILTER} message handlers to
    hold ingress Qdisc reference while using it without relying on rtnl lock
    protection. Unlocked Qdisc ops support is already implemented in filter
    update path by unlocked cls API patch set.
