====================
hsr: several code cleanup for hsr module

This patchset is to clean up hsr module code.

1. The first patch is to use debugfs_remove_recursive().
If it uses debugfs_remove_recursive() instead of debugfs_remove(),
hsr_priv() doesn't need to have "node_tbl_file" pointer variable.

2. The second patch is to use extack error message.
If HSR uses the extack instead of netdev_info(), users can get
error messages immediately without any checking the kernel message.

3. The third patch is to use netdev_err() instead of WARN_ONCE().
When a packet is being sent, hsr_addr_subst_dest() is called and
it tries to find the node with the ethernet destination address.
If it couldn't find a node, it warns with WARN_ONCE().
But, using WARN_ONCE() is a little bit overdoing.
So, in this patch, netdev_err() is used instead.

4. The fourth patch is to remove unnecessary rcu_read_{lock/unlock}().
There are some rcu_read_{lock/unlock}() in hsr module and some of
them are unnecessary. In this patch,
these unnecessary rcu_read_{lock/unlock}() will be removed.

5. The fifth patch is to use upper/lower device infrastructure.
netdev_upper_dev_link() is useful to manage lower/upper interfaces.
And this function internally validates looping, maximum depth.
If hsr module uses upper/lower device infrastructure,
it can prevent these above problems.
