net: bridge: fix recent ioctl changes
These are three fixes for the recent bridge removal of ndo_do_ioctl
done by commit ad2f99aedf8f ("net: bridge: move bridge ioctls out of
.ndo_do_ioctl"). Patch 01 fixes a deadlock of the new bridge ioctl
hook lock and rtnl by taking a netdev reference and always taking the
bridge ioctl lock first then rtnl from within the bridge hook.
Patch 02 fixes old_deviceless() bridge calls device name argument, and
patch 03 checks in dev_ifsioc()'s SIOCBRADD/DELIF cases if the netdevice is
actually a bridge before interpreting its private ptr as net_bridge.
Patch 01 was tested by running old bridge-utils commands with lockdep
enabled. Patch 02 was tested again by using bridge-utils and using the
respective ioctl calls on a "up" bridge device. Patch 03 was tested by
using the addif ioctl on a non-bridge device (e.g. loopback).

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.
