rtnetlink: wait for RCU readers in rtnl_link_unregister()

rtnl_link_ops_get() finds ops on link_ops under rcu_read_lock() and only
then takes ops->srcu. rtnl_link_unregister() unlinks ops, then calls
synchronize_srcu() and cleanup_srcu_struct() without first waiting for
RCU readers. A reader that found ops before list_del_rcu() and has not yet
taken ops->srcu is not waited for.

Such a reader then locks a cleaned-up srcu_struct and keeps using ops
after the module that owns it is gone. rtnl_newlink() and
rtnl_dump_ifinfo() both look up ops without RTNL, the latter for any
user that dumps links filtered by kind.

With delays added between the lookup and srcu_read_lock() in
rtnl_link_ops_get(), and before rtnl_link_ops_put() in
rtnl_dump_ifinfo(), running "ip link show type dummy" alongside
"rmmod dummy" on a KASAN kernel gives:

  BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in __srcu_read_unlock+0x57/0x70
  Read of size 8 at addr ffffffffc02ff318 by task ip/147
  Call Trace:

Call synchronize_rcu() before synchronize_srcu(), as
rtnl_af_unregister() already does. This should be enough because
rtnl_link_ops_get() is the only RCU walker of link_ops, and it takes
ops->srcu before rcu_read_unlock(), so every reader that found ops is
covered by synchronize_srcu() once the RCU grace period ends. The extra
grace period only costs time at module unload.

Readers and the writer were serialized by RTNL until link_ops got its
own mutex, which is why the missing RCU wait did not matter before.
