Subject: [PATCH 0/3] net: Get rid of net_mutex and simplify cleanup_list
 queueing

[1/3] kills net_mutex and makes net_sem be taken for write instead.
      This is made to take less locks (1 instead of 2) for the time
      before all pernet_operations are converted.

[2-3/3] simplifies dead net cleanup queueing, and makes llist api
        be used for that.

Kirill Tkhai (3):
      net: Kill net_mutex
      net: Make cleanup_list and net::cleanup_list of llist type
      net: Queue net_cleanup_work only if there is first net added
