selftests: net: dsa: add a stress test for unlocked FDB operations
This test is a bit strange in that it is perhaps more manual than others: it does not transmit a clear OK/FAIL verdict, because user space does not have synchronous feedback from the kernel. If a hardware access fails, it is in deferred context. Nonetheless, on sja1105 I have used it successfully to find and solve a concurrency issue, so it can be used as a starting point for other driver maintainers too.

+# Bridge FDB entries can be offloaded to DSA switches without holding the
+# rtnl_mutex. Traditionally this mutex has conferred drivers implicit
+# serialization, which means their code paths are not well tested in the
+# presence of concurrency.
+# This test creates a background task that stresses the FDB by adding and
+# deleting an entry many times in a row without the rtnl_mutex held.
+# It then tests the driver resistance to concurrency by calling .ndo_fdb_dump
+# (with rtnl_mutex held) from a foreground task.
+# Since either the FDB dump or the additions/removals can fail, but the
+# additions and removals are performed in deferred as opposed to process
+# context, we cannot simply check for user space error codes.
