net_sched: fix a race condition in tcindex_destroy()

tcindex_destroy() invokes tcindex_destroy_element() via
a walker to delete each filter result in its perfect hash
table, and tcindex_destroy_element() calls tcindex_delete()
which schedules tcf RCU works to do the final deletion work.
Unfortunately this races with the RCU callback
__tcindex_destroy(), which could lead to use-after-free as
reported by Adrian.

Fix this by migrating this RCU callback to tcf RCU work too,
as that workqueue is ordered, we will not have use-after-free.

Note, we don't need to hold netns refcnt because we don't call
tcf_exts_destroy() here.

Fixes: 27ce4f05
