[Linux-kernel-mentees] [PATCH] net: core: devlink.c: Hold devlink->lock from the beginning of devlink_dpipe_table_register()

From: Madhuparna Bhowmik <madhuparnabhowmik10 at gmail.com>

devlink_dpipe_table_find() should be called under either
rcu_read_lock() or devlink->lock. devlink_dpipe_table_register()
calls devlink_dpipe_table_find() without holding the lock
and acquires it later. Therefore hold the devlink->lock
from the beginning of devlink_dpipe_table_register().
