Current struct pernet_operations exit() handlers are highly
discouraged to call synchronize_rcu().
There are cases where we need them, and exit_batch() does
not help the common case where a single netns is dismantled.
This patch leverages the existing synchronize_rcu() call
in cleanup_net()
Calling optional ->pre_exit() method before ->exit() or
->exit_batch() allows to benefit from a single synchronize_rcu()
call.
Note that the synchronize_rcu() calls added in this patch
are only in error paths or slow paths.

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.
