net: free altname using an RCU callback
We had to add another synchronize_rcu() in recent fix. Bite the bullet and add an rcu_head to netdev_name_node, free from RCU. Note that name_node does not hold any reference on dev to which it points, but there must be a synchronize_rcu() on device removal path, so we should be fine.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
