net: vxlan: convert to act as a pernet subsystem As per suggestion from Eric W. Biederman, vxlan should be using {un,}register_pernet_subsys() instead of {un,}register_pernet_device() to ensure the vxlan_net structure is initialized before and cleaned up after all network devices in a given network namespace i.e. when dealing with network notifiers. This is similarly handeled already in commit 91e2ff3528ac ("net: Teach vlans to cleanup as a pernet subsystem") and, thus, improves upon fd27e0d44a89 ("net: vxlan: do not use vxlan_net before checking event type"). Just as in 91e2ff3528ac, we do not need to explicitly handle deletion of vxlan devices as network namespace exit calls dellink on all remaining virtual devices, and rtnl_link_unregister() calls dellink on all outstanding devices in that network namespace, so we can entirely drop the pernet exit operation as well. Moreover, on vxlan module exit, rcu_barrier() is called by netns since commit 3a765edadb28 ("netns: Add an explicit rcu_barrier to unregister_pernet_{device|subsys}"), so this may be omitted. Tested with various scenarios and works well on my side. Suggested-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com> Cc: Eric W.
