Subject: [NET]: gen_estimator deadlock fix

Fixes ABBA deadlock noted by Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net>:
> There is at least one ABBA deadlock, est_timer() does:
> read_lock(&est_lock)
> spin_lock(e->stats_lock) (which is dev->queue_lock)
> 
> and qdisc_destroy calls htb_destroy under dev->queue_lock, which
> calls htb_destroy_class, then gen_kill_estimator and this
> write_locks est_lock.

est_lock completely removed and the RCU list implemented instead.
Both gen_kill_estimator and gen_new_estimator are already called under
rtnl_mutex.
