net: avoid updating qdisc_xmit_lock_key in netdev_update_lockdep_key()
syzbot reported some bogus lockdep warnings, for example bad unlock balance in sch_direct_xmit(). They are due to a race condition between slow path and fast path, that is qdisc_xmit_lock_key gets re-registered in netdev_update_lockdep_key() on slow path, while we could still acquire the queue->_xmit_lock on fast path in this small window: CPU A CPU B __netif_tx_lock(); lockdep_unregister_key(qdisc_xmit_lock_key); __netif_tx_unlock(); lockdep_register_key(qdisc_xmit_lock_key); In fact, unlike the addr_list_lock which has to be reordered when the master/slave device relationship changes, queue->_xmit_lock is only acquired on fast path and only when NETIF_F_LLTX is not set, so there is likely no nested locking for it. Therefore, we can just get rid of re-registration of qdisc_xmit_lock_key.
