Merge branch 'phonet-convert-all-doit-and-dumpit-to-rcu'

Kuniyuki Iwashima says:

====================
phonet: Convert all doit() and dumpit() to RCU.

addr_doit() and route_doit() access only phonet_device_list(dev_net(dev))
and phonet_pernet(dev_net(dev))->routes, respectively.

Each per-netns struct has its dedicated mutex, and RTNL also protects
the structs.  __dev_change_net_namespace() has synchronize_net(), so
we have two options to convert addr_doit() and route_doit().

  1. Use per-netns RTNL
  2. Use RCU and convert each struct mutex to spinlock_t

As RCU is preferable, this series converts all PF_PHONET's doit()
and dumpit() to RCU.

4 doit()s and 1 dumpit() are now converted to RCU, 70 doit()s and
28 dumpit()s are still under RTNL.
