Kuniyuki Iwashima ccb161b71a geneve: Support per-netns netdev unregistration.
geneve_exit_rtnl_net() iterates geneve devices whose sockets
are in the dying netns and queues them for destruction.

So the devices may reside in different netns.

Let's use unregister_netdevice_queue_net() to support per-netns
device unregistration.

list_del() is changed to list_del_init() to avoid queueing the
same device twice.

Even after geneve_exit_rtnl_net() queues a cross-netns geneve
device, geneve_dellink() can be called concurrently for it.
In such a case, __rtnl_net_unlock() will perform the unregistration.

Note that geneve uses register_pernet_subsys() instead of _device(),
so default_device_exit_batch() guarantees that the async per-netns
works are flushed before ->exit().

Tested:

1. Create geneve device across two netns.

  # ip netns add ns1
  # ip netns add ns2
  # ip -n ns1 link add geneve0 link-netns ns2 type geneve external

2. Run bpftrace to check that geneve_uninit() is called between
   ->exit_rtnl() and ->exit().

  # bpftrace -e '#include <linux/netdevice.h>
  kprobe:geneve_uninit {
      $dev = (struct net_device *)arg0;
      printf("PID: %d | DEV: %s%s\n", pid, $dev->name, kstack());
  }
  kprobe:geneve_exit_rtnl_net,
  kprobe:geneve_exit_net {
      printf("PID: %d%s\n", pid, kstack());
  }'

3. Remove the netns where the geneve socket resides

  # ip netns del ns2

Now, we can see geneve0 is unregistered by per-netns work
instead of cleanup_net() and it finishes before ->exit() to
avoid WARN_ON_ONCE(!list_empty(&gn->sock_list)) there.
