At rmmod time, 30% of cpu is spent in packet_notifier()

Maybe we can do something about this.

   30.85%         rmmod  [kernel.kallsyms]     [k]
packet_notifier                                                                                 
                   |
                   --- packet_notifier
                       notifier_call_chain
                       raw_notifier_call_chain
                       call_netdevice_notifiers
