Subject: [PATCH] net: core: introduce __netdev_notify_peers

References: bsc#1184114 ltc#192237 bsc#1183871 ltc#192139
Patch-mainline: v5.11-rc1
Git-commit: 7061eb8cfa902daa1ec71d23b5cddb8b4391e72b

There are some use cases for netdev_notify_peers in the context
when rtnl lock is already held. Introduce lockless version
of netdev_notify_peers call to save the extra code to call
	call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS, dev);
	call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_RESEND_IGMP, dev);
After that, convert netdev_notify_peers to call the new helper.
