vrf: Fix a potential NPD when removing a port from a VRF

RCU readers that identified a net device as a VRF port using
netif_is_l3_slave() assume that a subsequent call to
netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu() will return a VRF device. They then
continue to dereference its l3mdev operations.

This assumption is not always correct and can result in a NPD [1]. There
is no RCU synchronization when removing a port from a VRF, so it is
possible for an RCU reader to see a new master device (e.g., a bridge)
that does not have l3mdev operations.

Fix by adding RCU synchronization after clearing the IFF_L3MDEV_SLAVE
flag. Skip this synchronization when a net device is removed from a VRF
as part of its deletion and when the VRF device itself is deleted. In
the latter case an RCU grace period will pass by the time RTNL is
released.
