[PATCH 5.18 084/158] net: lan966x: Fix taking rtnl_lock while holding spin_lock

[ Upstream commit 45533a534a45cb12c20c81615d17306176cb1c57 ]

When the HW deletes an entry in MAC table then it generates an
interrupt. The SW will go through it's own list of MAC entries and if it
is not found then it would notify the listeners about this. The problem
is that when the SW will go through it's own list it would take a spin
lock(lan966x->mac_lock) and when it notifies that the entry is deleted.
But to notify the listeners it taking the rtnl_lock which is illegal.

This is fixed by instead of notifying right away that the entry is
deleted, move the entry on a temp list and once, it checks all the
entries then just notify that the entries from temp list are deleted.
