Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] net/packet: use synchronize_net_expedited()

Since these locations don't have RTNL held, synchronize_net() uses
synchronize_rcu(), which takes its time.  Unfortunately, this is user
visible on bind() and close() calls from userspace.  With a good amount
of network interfaces, this sums up to Wireshark (dumpcap) taking
several seconds to start for no good reason.
