switchdev: Add a blocking notifier chain
In general one can't assume that a switchdev notifier is called in a non-atomic context, and correspondingly, the switchdev notifier chain is an atomic one. However, port object addition and deletion messages are delivered from a process context. Even the MDB addition messages, whose delivery is scheduled from atomic context, are queued and the delivery itself takes place in blocking context. For VLAN messages in particular, keeping the blocking nature is important for error reporting. Therefore introduce a blocking notifier chain and related service functions to distribute the notifications for which a blocking context can be assumed.
