act_vlan: VLAN action rewrite to use RCU lock/unlock and update
Using a spinlock in the VLAN action causes performance issues when the VLAN action is used on multiple cores. Rewrote the VLAN action to use RCU read locking for reads and updates instead. All functions now use an RCU dereferenced pointer to access the VLAN action context. Modified helper functions used by other modules, to use the RCU as opposed to directly accessing the structure.
