Commit 1d18bb1a4ddd ("devlink: allow registering parameters after
the instance") as the subject implies introduced possibility to register
devlink params even for already registered devlink instance. This is a
bit problematic, as the consistency or params list was originally
secured by the fact it is static during devlink lifetime. So in order to
protect the params list, take devlink instance lock during the params
operations. Introduce unlocked function variants and use them in drivers
in locked context. Put lock assertions to appropriate places.

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.
