I reworked the patch to work safely with using call_rcu() and still
preventing the race condition. According to my tests the patch works as
intended, but it'd be good to receive feedback that it indeed fixes the
issue properly.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] netfilter: ipset: fix performance regression in swap
operation
The patch "netfilter: ipset: fix race condition between swap/destroy
and kernel side add/del/test", commit 28628fa9 fixes a race condition.
But the synchronize_rcu() added to the swap function unnecessarily slows
it down: it can safely be moved to destroy and use call_rcu() instead.
Eric Dumazet pointed out that simply calling the destroy functions as
rcu callback does not work: sets with timeout use garbage collectors
which need cancelling at destroy which can wait. Therefore the destroy
functions are split into two: cancelling garbage collectors safely at
executing the command received by netlink and moving the remaining
part only into the rcu callback.
