Ido Schimmel d32c38256d 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.
