Subject: net_sched: introduce a workqueue for RCU callbacks of tc filter
Patch-mainline: v4.14-rc7
Git-commit: 7aa0045dadb6ef37485ea9f2a7d28278ca588b51
References: bsc#1109837

This patch introduces a dedicated workqueue for tc filters
so that each tc filter's RCU callback could defer their
action destroy work to this workqueue. The helper
tcf_queue_work() is introduced for them to use.

Because we hold RTNL lock when calling tcf_block_put(), we
can not simply flush works inside it, therefore we have to
defer it again to this workqueue and make sure all flying RCU
callbacks have already queued their work before this one, in
other words, to ensure this is the last one to execute to
prevent any use-after-free.

On the other hand, this makes tcf_block_put() ugly and
harder to understand. Since David and Eric strongly dislike
adding synchronize_rcu(), this is probably the only
solution that could make everyone happy.

Please also see the code comments below.
