net: reduce RTNL hold duration in unregister_netdevice_many_notify() (part 1)

Browse source 
Two synchronize_net() calls are currently done while holding RTNL.

This is source of RTNL contention in workloads adding and deleting
many network namespaces per second, because synchronize_rcu()
and synchronize_rcu_expedited() can use 60+ ms in some cases.

For cleanup_net() use, temporarily release RTNL
while calling the last synchronize_net().

This should be safe, because devices are no longer visible
to other threads at this point.

In any case, the new netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock()
infrastructure that we are adding should allow
to fix potential issues, with a combination
of a per-device mutex and dev->reg_state awareness.
