eth: iavf: extend the netdev_lock usage
iavf uses the netdev->lock already to protect shapers. In an upcoming series we'll try to protect NAPI instances with netdev->lock. We need to modify the protection a bit. All NAPI related calls in the driver need to be consistently under the lock. This will allow us to easily switch to a "we already hold the lock" NAPI API later. register_netdevice(), OTOH, must not be called under the netdev_lock() as we do not intend to have an "already locked" version of this call.
