net: speedup netns dismantles

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

In this series, I made network namespace deletions more scalable,
by 4x on the little benchmark described in this cover letter.

- Remove bottleneck on ipv6 addrconf, by replacing a global
  hash table to a per netns one.

- Rework many (struct pernet_operations)->exit() handlers to
  exit_batch() ones. This removes many rtnl acquisitions,
  and gives to cleanup_net() kind of a priority over rtnl
  ownership.

Tested on a host with 24 cpus (48 HT)

Test script:

for nr in {1..10}
do
  (for i in {1..10000}; do unshare -n /bin/bash -c "ifconfig lo up"; done) &
done
wait

for i in {1..10}
do
  sleep 1
  echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
  grep net_namespace /proc/slabinfo
done

Before: We can see host struggles to clean the netns, even after there are no new creations.
Memory cost is high, because each netns consumes a good amount of memory.

After: We can see the script completes much faster,
the kernel thread doing the cleanup_net() keeps up just fine.
Memory cost is not too big.
