Currently we have per-net notifier, which allows to get only
notifications relevant to particular network namespace. That is enough
for drivers that have netdevs local in a particular namespace (cannot
move elsewhere).

However if netdev can change namespace, per-net notifier cannot be used.
Introduce dev_net variant that is basically per-net notifier with an
extension that re-registers the per-net notifier upon netdev namespace
change. Basically the per-net notifier follows the netdev into
namespace.

Jiri Pirko (4):
  net: call call_netdevice_unregister_net_notifiers from unregister
  net: push code from net notifier reg/unreg into helpers
  net: introduce dev_net notifier register/unregister variants
  mlx5: Use dev_net netdevice notifier registrations

Series applied, thanks Jiri.
