net/sysctl: avoid two synchronize_rcu() calls

Both rps_sock_flow_sysctl() and flow_limit_cpu_sysctl()
are using synchronize_rcu() right before freeing memory
either by vfree() or kfree()

They can switch to kvfree_rcu(ptr) and kfree_rcu(ptr) to benefit
from asynchronous mode, instead of blocking the current thread.

Note that kvfree_rcu(ptr) and kfree_rcu(ptr) eventually can
have to use synchronize_rcu() in some memory pressure cases.
