So far, only net_device * could be passed along with netdevice notifier

able to provide info that event listener needs to know.

proc_net_remove is only used to remove proc entries
that under /proc/net,it's not a general function for
removing proc entries of netns. if we want to remove
some proc entries which under /proc/net/stat/, we still
need to call remove_proc_entry.

this patch use remove_proc_entry to replace proc_net_remove.
we can remove proc_net_remove after this patch.

Right now, some modules such as bonding use proc_create
to create proc entries under /proc/net/, and other modules
such as ipv4 use proc_net_fops_create.

It looks a little chaos.this patch changes all of
proc_net_fops_create to proc_create. we can remove
proc_net_fops_create after this patch.

After investigation it turns out there were two issues.
1) Phonet was not implementing network devices but was using register_pernet_device
   instead of register_pernet_subsys.

   This was allowing there to be cases when phonenet was not initialized and
   the phonet net_generic was not set for a network namespace when network
   device events were being reported on the netdevice_notifier for a network
   namespace leading to the oops above.

2) phonet_exit_net was implementing a confusing and special case of handling all
   network devices from going away that it was hard to see was correct, and would
   only occur when the phonet module was removed.

   Now that unregister_netdevice_notifier has been modified to synthesize unregistration
   events for the network devices that are extant when called this confusing special
   case in phonet_exit_net is no longer needed.

After investigation it turns out there were two issues.
1) Phonet was not implementing network devices but was using register_pernet_device
   instead of register_pernet_subsys.

   This was allowing there to be cases when phonenet was not initialized and
   the phonet net_generic was not set for a network namespace when network
   device events were being reported on the netdevice_notifier for a network
   namespace leading to the oops above.

2) phonet_exit_net was implementing a confusing and special case of handling all
   network devices from going away that it was hard to see was correct, and would
   only occur when the phonet module was removed.

   Now that unregister_netdevice_notifier has been modified to synthesize unregistration
   events for the network devices that are extant when called this confusing special
   case in phonet_exit_net is no longer needed.

<title>net: reintroduce missing rcu_assign_pointer() calls</title>

commit a9b3cd7f32 (rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to
RCU_INIT_POINTER) did a lot of incorrect changes, since it did a
complete conversion of rcu_assign_pointer(x, y) to RCU_INIT_POINTER(x,
y).

We miss needed barriers, even on x86, when y is not NULL.

When assigning a NULL value to an RCU protected pointer, no barrier
is needed. The rcu_assign_pointer, used to handle that but will soon
change to not handle the special case.

Convert all rcu_assign_pointer of NULL value.

//smpl
@@ expression P; @@

- rcu_assign_pointer(P, NULL)
+ RCU_INIT_POINTER(P, NULL)

// &lt;/smpl&gt;
