Vladimir Oltean 1b26d364e4 net: dsa: warn about dsa_port and dsa_switch bit fields being non atomic
As discussed during review here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220105132141.2648876-3-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

we should inform developers about pitfalls of concurrent access to the
boolean properties of dsa_switch and dsa_port, now that they've been
converted to bit fields. No other measure than a comment needs to be
taken, since the code paths that update these bit fields are not
concurrent with each other.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
