net: Convert pernet_subsys, registered from inet_init()



arp_net_ops just addr/removes /proc entry.

devinet_ops allocates and frees duplicate of init_net tables
and (un)registers sysctl entries.

fib_net_ops allocates and frees pernet tables, creates/destroys
netlink socket and (un)initializes /proc entries. Foreign
pernet_operations do not touch them.

ip_rt_proc_ops only modifies pernet /proc entries.

xfrm_net_ops creates/destroys /proc entries, allocates/frees
pernet statistics, hashes and tables, and (un)initializes
sysctl files. These are not touched by foreigh pernet_operations

xfrm4_net_ops allocates/frees private pernet memory, and
configures sysctls.

sysctl_route_ops creates/destroys sysctls.

rt_genid_ops only initializes fields of just allocated net.

ipv4_inetpeer_ops allocated/frees net private memory.

igmp_net_ops just creates/destroys /proc files and socket,
noone else interested in.

tcp_sk_ops seems to be safe, because tcp_sk_init() does not
depend on any other pernet_operations modifications. Iteration
over hash table in inet_twsk_purge() is made under RCU lock,
and it's safe to iterate the table this way. Removing from
the table happen from inet_twsk_deschedule_put(), but this
function is safe without any extern locks, as it's synchronized
inside itself. There are many examples, it's used in different
context. So, it's safe to leave tcp_sk_exit_batch() unlocked.

tcp_net_metrics_ops is synchronized on tcp_metrics_lock and safe.

udplite4_net_ops only creates/destroys pernet /proc file.

icmp_sk_ops creates percpu sockets, not touched by foreign
pernet_operations.

ipmr_net_ops creates/destroys pernet fib tables, (un)registers
fib rules and /proc files. This seem to be safe to execute
in parallel with foreign pernet_operations.

af_inet_ops just sets up default parameters of newly created net.

ipv4_mib_ops creates and destroys pernet percpu statistics.

raw_net_ops, tcp4_net_ops, udp4_net_ops, ping_v4_net_ops
and ip_proc_ops only create/destroy pernet /proc files.

ip4_frags_ops creates and destroys sysctl file.

So, it's safe to make the pernet_operations async.
