net: Move net:netns_ids destruction out of rtnl_lock() and document locking scheme

Browse Source 
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().
