net: Move net:netns_ids destruction out of rtnl_lock() and document locking scheme
Currently, we unhash a dying net from netns_ids lists under rtnl_lock(). It's a leftover from the time when net::netns_ids was introduced. There was no net::nsid_lock, and rtnl_lock() was mostly need to order modification of alive nets nsid idr, i.e. for: for_each_net(tmp) { ... id = __peernet2id(tmp, net); idr_remove(&tmp->netns_ids, id); ... } Since we have net::nsid_lock, the modifications are protected by this local lock, and now we may introduce better scheme of netns_ids destruction. Let's look at the functions peernet2id_alloc() and get_net_ns_by_id(). Previous commits taught these functions to work well with dying net acquired from rtnl unlocked lists. And they are the only functions which can hash a net to netns_ids or obtain from there. And as easy to check, other netns_ids operating functions works with id, not with net pointers. So, we do not need rtnl_lock to synchronize cleanup_net() with all them. The another property, which is used in the patch, is that net is unhashed from net_namespace_list in the only place and by the only process. So, we avoid excess rcu_read_lock() or rtnl_lock(), when we'are iterating over the list in unhash_nsid(). All the above makes possible to keep rtnl_lock() locked only for net->list deletion, and completely avoid it for netns_ids unhashing and destruction. As these two doings may take long time (e.g., memory allocation to send skb), the patch should positively act on the scalability and signify decrease the time, which rtnl_lock() is held in cleanup_net().
