net: Introduce for_each_netdev_rcu() iterator
Adds RCU management to the list of netdevices.
Convert some for_each_netdev() users to RCU version, if
it can avoid read_lock-ing dev_base_lock
Ie:
read_lock(&dev_base_loack);
for_each_netdev(net, dev)
some_action();
read_unlock(&dev_base_lock);
becomes :
rcu_read_lock();
for_each_netdev_rcu(net, dev)
some_action();
rcu_read_unlock();
