Add a flow-offload callback mutex and hold it across direct and indirect

list removal into the flow-offload core, and keep indirect-device
registration transactional on setup failure. When TC must reject an
indirect bind after callback installation, unwind only the callbacks
created by that bind so existing callbacks remain intact.
Isn't the unbind / rollback stuff mostly orthogonal to the locking?
Looks like the patch should be split.
