--------------------------------

[ Upstream commit d3d40f23 ]

This reverts commit cc00bcaa.

This (and the preceding) patch basically re-implemented the RCU
mechanisms of patch 78454473. That patch was replaced because of the
performance problems that it created when replacing tables. Now, we have
the same issue: the call to synchronize_rcu() makes replacing tables
slower by as much as an order of magnitude.

Prior to using RCU a script calling "iptables" approx. 200 times was
taking 1.16s. With RCU this increased to 11.59s.

Revert these patches and fix the issue in a different way.
