It is enough for caller of devlink_compat_switch_id_get() to hold the net device to guarantee that devlink port is not destroyed concurrently. Remove rtnl lock assertion and modify comment to warn user that they must hold either rtnl lock or reference to net device. This is necessary to accommodate future implementation of rtnl-unlocked TC offloads driver callbacks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
