Ok, I've spent the morning looking at several other examples, and re-reading
your comments and Erics, and agree, the rcu_read_lock doesn't need to be there,
and a writer mutex does (which I can use trace_state_lock for).  As such, I've
got a new patch below, tested and working.  I think it fully takes your and
Erics comments into account.

V4 Change Notes:
1) Remove rcu_read_lock from TRACE_OFF case in set_all_monitor_traces, since its
not needed in light of the use of the trace_state_lock to protect list mutations 

2) Change list_for_each_entry_rcu to list_for_each_entry_safe, since rcu list
traversal isn't needed here.

3) Fully protect global tracer state with trace_state lock

4) Add freeing code to the NETDEV_UNREGISTER event notification to safe on
memory if the tracer is never used (using trace_state_lock properly here too)



Patch to add the ability to detect drops in hardware interfaces via dropwatch.
Adds a tracepoint to net_rx_action to signal everytime a napi instance is
polled.  The dropmon code then periodically checks to see if the rx_frames
counter has changed, and if so, adds a drop notification to the netlink
protocol, using the reserved all-0's vector to indicate the drop location was in
hardware, rather than somewhere in the code.
