net: Add non-RCU dev_getbyhwaddr() helper
[ Upstream commit 4b5a28b38c4a0106c64416a1b2042405166b26ce ] Add dedicated helper for finding devices by hardware address when holding rtnl_lock, similar to existing dev_getbyhwaddr_rcu(). This prevents PROVE_LOCKING warnings when rtnl_lock is held but RCU read lock is not. Extract common address comparison logic into dev_addr_cmp(). The context about this change could be found in the following discussion: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250206-scarlet-ermine-of-improvement-1fcac5@leitao/ Cc: kuniyu@amazon.com Cc: ushankar@purestorage.com Suggested-by:Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by:
