net: rtnetlink: use rcu to free rtnl message handlers rtnetlink is littered with READ_ONCE() because we can have read accesses while another cpu can write to the structure we're reading by (un)registering doit or dumpit handlers. This patch changes this so that (un)registering cpu allocates a new structure and then publishes it via rcu_assign_pointer, i.e. once another cpu can see such pointer no modifications will occur anymore. based on initial patch from Peter Zijlstra.
