rtnl_lock() is used everywhere, and contention is very high. When someone wants to iterate over alive net namespaces, he/she has no a possibility to do that without exclusive lock. But the exclusive rtnl_lock() in such places is overkill, and it just increases the contention. Yes, there is already for_each_net_rcu() in kernel, but it requires rcu_read_lock(), and this can't be sleepable. Also, sometimes it may be need really prevent net_namespace_list growth, so for_each_net_rcu() is not fit there. This patch introduces new rw_semaphore, which will be used instead of rtnl_mutex to protect net_namespace_list. It is sleepable and allows not-exclusive iterations over net namespaces list. It allows to stop using rtnl_lock() in several places (what is made in next patches) and makes less the time, we keep rtnl_mutex. Here we just add new lock, while the explanation of we can remove rtnl_lock() there are in next patches. Fine grained locks generally are better, then one big lock, so let's do that with net_namespace_list, while the situation allows that.
