net_sched: close the race between call_rcu() and cleanup_net()
This patchset tries to fix the race between call_rcu() and
cleanup_net() again. Without holding the netns refcnt the
tc_action_net_exit() in netns workqueue could be called before
filter destroy works in tc filter workqueue. This patchset
moves the netns refcnt from tc actions to tcf_exts, without
breaking per-netns tc actions.
Patch 1 reverts the previous fix, patch 2 introduces two new
API's to help to address the bug and the rest patches switch
to the new API's. Please see each patch for details.
I was not able to reproduce this bug, but now after adding
some delay in filter destroy work I manage to trigger the
crash. After this patchset, the crash is not reproducible
any more and the debugging printk's show the order is expected
too.

These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
