netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: provide rcu enabled callbacks
nenetlink_queue operations on SMP are not efficent if several queues are
used, because of nfnl_mutex contention when applications give packet
verdict.
Use new call_rcu field in struct nfnl_callback to advertize a callback
that is called under rcu_read_lock instead of nfnl_mutex.
On my 2x4x2 machine, I was able to reach 2.000.000 pps going through
user land returning NF_ACCEPT verdicts without losses, instead of less
than 500.000 pps before patch.
