netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: provide rcu enabled callbacks
nenetlink_queue operations on SMP are not efficent if several queues are used, because of nfnl_mutex contention when applications give packet verdict. Use new call_rcu field in struct nfnl_callback to advertize a callback that is called under rcu_read_lock instead of nfnl_mutex. On my 2x4x2 machine, I was able to reach 2.000.000 pps going through user land returning NF_ACCEPT verdicts without losses, instead of less than 500.000 pps before patch.
