can: bcm: use call_rcu() instead of costly synchronize_rcu()

commit f1b4e32a upstream.

In commit d5f9023f ("can: bcm: delay release of struct bcm_op
after synchronize_rcu()") Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo introduced two
synchronize_rcu() calls in bcm_release() (only once at socket close)
and in bcm_delete_rx_op() (called on removal of each single bcm_op).

Unfortunately this slow removal of the bcm_op's affects user space
applications like cansniffer where the modification of a filter
removes 2048 bcm_op's which blocks the cansniffer application for
40(!) seconds.

In commit 181d4447 ("can: gw: use call_rcu() instead of costly
synchronize_rcu()") Eric Dumazet replaced the synchronize_rcu() calls
with several call_rcu()'s to safely remove the data structures after
the removal of CAN ID subscriptions with can_rx_unregister() calls.

This patch adopts Erics approach for the can-bcm which should be
applicable since the removal of tasklet_kill() in bcm_remove_op() and
the introduction of the HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT timer handling in Linux 5.4.

Fixes: d5f9023f

 ("can: bcm: delay release of struct bcm_op after synchronize_rcu()") # >= 5.4
