packet: Do not call fanout_release from atomic contexts



Commit 66644982 ("packet: call fanout_release, while UNREGISTERING a
netdev"), unfortunately, introduced the following issues.

1. calling mutex_lock(&fanout_mutex) (fanout_release()) from inside
rcu_read-side critical section. rcu_read_lock disables preemption, most often,
which prohibits calling sleeping functions.

[  ] include/linux/rcupdate.h:560 Illegal context switch in RCU read-side critical section!
[  ]
[  ] rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
[  ] 4 locks held by ovs-vswitchd/1969:

2. calling mutex_lock(&fanout_mutex) inside spin_lock(&po->bind_lock).
"sleeping function called from invalid context"

[  ] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:620

3. calling dev_remove_pack(&fanout->prot_hook), from inside
spin_lock(&po->bind_lock) or rcu_read-side critical-section. dev_remove_pack()
-> synchronize_net(), which might sleep.

[  ] BUG: scheduling while atomic: ovs-vswitchd/1969/0x00000002

[  ]  [<ffffffff8154eab5>] synchronize_net+0x35/0x50
[  ]  [<ffffffff8154eae3>] dev_remove_pack+0x13/0x20

[  ]  [<ffffffff81614459>] packet_notifier+0x2f9/0x3f0

4. fanout_release() races with calls from different CPU.

To fix the above problems, remove the call to fanout_release() under
rcu_read_lock(). Instead, call __dev_remove_pack(&fanout->prot_hook) and
netdev_run_todo will be happy that &dev->ptype_specific list is empty. In order
to achieve this, I moved dev_{add,remove}_pack() out of fanout_{add,release} to
__fanout_{link,unlink}. So, call to {,__}unregister_prot_hook() will make sure
fanout->prot_hook is removed as well.
