netlink: use call_rcu for netlink_change_ngroups

Browse Source 
For the network namespace work in generic netlink I need
to be able to call this function under rcu_read_lock(),
otherwise the locking becomes a nightmare and more locks
would be needed. Instead, just embed a struct rcu_head
(actually a struct listeners_rcu_head that also carries
the pointer to the memory block) into the listeners
memory so we can use call_rcu() instead of synchronising
and then freeing. No rcu_barrier() is needed since this
code cannot be modular.
