netdev_nl_sock previously used a struct list_head bindings to keep track of active netdev netlink bindings, protected by a per-socket struct mutex lock (priv->lock). Since list modifications and iterations are not concurrency-safe, priv->lock was introduced to serialize operations on priv->bindings. However, xarray manages its own internal locking (xa_lock) for store, erase, and iteration operations. Convert bindings in struct netdev_nl_sock from struct list_head to struct xarray and remove priv->lock. This simplifies the code by removing explicit mutex locking in netdev_nl_bind_rx_doit(), netdev_nl_bind_tx_doit(), and socket initialization/teardown functions.
