Current flower mask creating code assumes that temporary mask that is used
when inserting new filter is stack allocated. To prevent race condition
with data patch synchronize_rcu() is called every time fl_create_new_mask()
replaces temporary stack allocated mask. As reported by Jiri, this
increases runtime of creating 20000 flower classifiers from 4 seconds to
163 seconds. However, this design is no longer necessary since temporary
mask was converted to be dynamically allocated by commit 2cddd2014782
("net/sched: cls_flower: allocate mask dynamically in fl_change()").
Remove synchronize_rcu() calls from mask creation code. Instead, refactor
fl_change() to always deallocate temporary mask with rcu grace period.

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.
