Eric W. Biederman 850a545bd8 net: Move rcu_barrier from rollback_registered_many to netdev_run_todo.
This patch moves the rcu_barrier from rollback_registered_many
(inside the rtnl_lock) into netdev_run_todo (just outside the rtnl_lock).
This allows us to gain the full benefit of sychronize_net calling
synchronize_rcu_expedited when the rtnl_lock is held.

The rcu_barrier in rollback_registered_many was originally a synchronize_net
but was promoted to be a rcu_barrier() when it was found that people were
unnecessarily hitting the 250ms wait in netdev_wait_allrefs().  Changing
the rcu_barrier back to a synchronize_net is therefore safe.

Since we only care about waiting for the rcu callbacks before we get
to netdev_wait_allrefs() it is also safe to move the wait into
netdev_run_todo.

This was tested by creating and destroying 1000 tap devices and observing
/proc/lock_stat.  /proc/lock_stat reports this change reduces the hold
times of the rtnl_lock by a factor of 10.  There was no observable
difference in the amount of time it takes to destroy a network device.
