Follow-up patch is going to introduce a netdevice notifier event processing which is called with RTNL mutex held. Processing of this will eventually lead to call to port_notity() and port_fill() which currently takes RTNL mutex internally. So as a temporary solution, propagate a bool indicating if the mutex is already held. This will go away in one of the follow-up patches.

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.
