neighbour: Convert RTM_SETNEIGHTBL to RCU.
neightbl_set() fetches neigh_tables[] and updates attributes under write_lock_bh(&tbl->lock), so RTNL is not needed. neigh_table_clear() synchronises RCU only, and rcu_dereference_rtnl() protects nothing here. If we released RCU after fetching neigh_tables[], there would be no synchronisation to block neigh_table_clear() further, so RCU is held until the end of the function. Another option would be to protect neigh_tables[] user with SRCU and add synchronize_srcu() in neigh_table_clear(). But, holding RCU should be fine as we hold write_lock_bh() for the rest of neightbl_set() anyway. Let's perform RTM_SETNEIGHTBL under RCU and drop RTNL.
