net: revert to lockless TC_SETUP_BLOCK and TC_SETUP_FT

There is a couple of places from which we can arrive to ndo_setup_tc
with TC_SETUP_BLOCK/TC_SETUP_FT:
- netlink
- netlink notifier
- netdev notifier

Locking netdev too deep in this call chain seems to be problematic
(especially assuming some/all of the call_netdevice_notifiers
NETDEV_UNREGISTER) might soon be running with the instance lock).
Revert to lockless ndo_setup_tc for TC_SETUP_BLOCK/TC_SETUP_FT. NFT
framework already takes care of most of the locking. Document
the assumptions.

 Most ndo callbacks not specified in the list above are running
 under ``rtnl_lock``. In addition, netdev instance lock is taken as well if
 the driver implements queue management or shaper API.
