Subject: [PATCH] net: Convert net_mutex into rw_semaphore and down read it
 on net->init/->exit

Curently mutex is used to protect pernet operations list. It makes
cleanup_net() to execute ->exit methods of the same operations set,
which was used on the time of ->init, even after net namespace is
unlinked from net_namespace_list.

But the problem is it's need to synchronize_rcu() after net is removed
from net_namespace_list():

Destroy net_ns:
cleanup_net()
  mutex_lock(&net_mutex)
  list_del_rcu(&net->list)
  synchronize_rcu()                                  <--- Sleep there for ages
  list_for_each_entry_reverse(ops, &pernet_list, list)
    ops_exit_list(ops, &net_exit_list)
  list_for_each_entry_reverse(ops, &pernet_list, list)
    ops_free_list(ops, &net_exit_list)
  mutex_unlock(&net_mutex)

This primitive is not fast, especially on the systems with many processors
and/or when preemptible RCU is enabled in config. So, all the time, while
cleanup_net() is waiting for RCU grace period, creation of new net namespaces
is not possible, the tasks, who makes it, are sleeping on the same mutex:

Create net_ns:
copy_net_ns()
  mutex_lock_killable(&net_mutex)                    <--- Sleep there for ages

The solution is to convert net_mutex to the rw_semaphore. Then,
pernet_operations::init/::exit methods, modifying the net-related data,
will require down_read() locking only, while down_write() will be used
for changing pernet_list.

This gives signify performance increase, like you may see below. There
is measured sequential net namespace creation in a cycle, in single
thread, without other tasks (single user mode):

1)int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        unsigned nr;
        if (argc < 2) {
                fprintf(stderr, "Provide nr iterations arg\n");
                return 1;
        }
        nr = atoi(argv[1]);
        while (nr-- > 0) {
                if (unshare(CLONE_NEWNET)) {
                        perror("Can't unshare");
                        return 1;
                }
        }
        return 0;
}

Patched:

user 0m4,544s

This patch requires commit 76f8507f7a64 "locking/rwsem: Add down_read_killable()"
from Linus tree (not in net-next yet).
