netns: optimize netns cleaning by batching unhash_nsid calls

Currently, unhash_nsid() scans the entire system for each netns being
killed, leading to O(L_dying_net * M_alive_net * N_id) complexity, as
__peernet2id() also performs a linear search in the IDR.

Optimize this to O(M_alive_net * N_id) by batching unhash operations. Move
unhash_nsid() out of the per-netns loop in cleanup_net() to perform a
single-pass traversal over survivor namespaces.

Identify dying peers by an 'is_dying' flag, which is set under net_rwsem
write lock after the netns is removed from the global list. This batches
the unhashing work and eliminates the O(L_dying_net) multiplier.

To minimize the impact on struct net size, 'is_dying' is placed in an
existing hole after 'hash_mix' in struct net.

Use a restartable idr_get_next() loop for iteration. This avoids the
unsafe modification issue inherent to idr_for_each() callbacks and allows
dropping the nsid_lock to safely call sleepy rtnl_net_notifyid().

Clean up redundant nsid_lock and simplify the destruction loop now that
unhashing is centralized.
