Florian Westphal 933bd83ed6 netfilter: batch synchronize_net calls during hook unregister
synchronize_net is expensive and slows down netns cleanup a lot.

We have two APIs to unregister a hook:
nf_unregister_net_hook (which calls synchronize_net())
and
nf_unregister_net_hooks (calls nf_unregister_net_hook in a loop)

Make nf_unregister_net_hook a wapper around new helper
__nf_unregister_net_hook, which unlinks the hook but does not free it.

Then, we can call that helper in nf_unregister_net_hooks and then
call synchronize_net() only once.

Andrey Konovalov reports this change improves syzkaller fuzzing speed at
least twice.

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
