wireguard: device: use exit_rtnl callback instead of manual rtnl_lock in pre_exit
wg_netns_pre_exit() manually acquires rtnl_lock() inside the
pernet .pre_exit callback. This causes a hung task when another
thread holds rtnl_mutex - the cleanup_net workqueue (or the
setup_net failure rollback path) blocks indefinitely in
wg_netns_pre_exit() waiting to acquire the lock.
Convert to .exit_rtnl, introduced in commit 7a60d91c690b ("net:
Add ->exit_rtnl() hook to struct pernet_operations."), where the
framework already holds RTNL and batches all callbacks under a
single rtnl_lock()/rtnl_unlock() pair, eliminating the contention
window.
The rcu_assign_pointer(wg->creating_net, NULL) is safe to move
from .pre_exit to .exit_rtnl (which runs after synchronize_rcu())
because all RCU readers of creating_net either use maybe_get_net()
- which returns NULL for a dying namespace with zero refcount - or
access net->user_ns which remains valid throughout the entire
ops_undo_list sequence.
