net: dsa: don't keep track of admin/oper state on LAG DSA masters
We store information about the DSA master's state in
cpu_dp->master_admin_up and cpu_dp->master_oper_up, and this assumes a
bijective association between a CPU port and a DSA master.
However, when we have CPU ports in a LAG (and DSA masters in a LAG too),
the way in which we set up things is that the physical DSA masters still
have dev->dsa_ptr pointing to our cpu_dp, but the bonding/team device
itself also has its dev->dsa_ptr pointing towards one of the CPU port
structures (the first one).
So logically speaking, that first cpu_dp can't keep track of both the
physical master's admin/oper state, and of the bonding master's state.
This isn't even needed; the reason why we keep track of the DSA master's
state is to know when it is available for Ethernet-based register access.
For that use case, we don't even need LAG; we just need to decide upon
one of the physical DSA masters (if there is more than 1 available) and
use that.
This change suppresses dsa_tree_master_{admin,oper}_state_change() calls
on LAG DSA masters (which will be supported in a future change), to
allow the tracking of just physical DSA masters.
