[4.14] netns: protect netns ID lookups with RCU

__peernet2id() can be protected by RCU as it only calls idr_for_each(),
which is RCU-safe, and never modifies the nsid table.

rtnl_net_dumpid() can also do lockless lookups. It does two nested
idr_for_each() calls on nsid tables (one direct call and one indirect
call because of rtnl_net_dumpid_one() calling __peernet2id()). The
netnsid tables are never updated. Therefore it is safe to not take the
nsid_lock and run within an RCU-critical section instead.

A nice side-effect of replacing spin_{lock,unlock}_bh() with
rcu_spin_{lock,unlock}() in peernet2id() is that it avoids the
situation where SoftIRQs get enabled whilst IRQs are turned off.

From bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1384179 (an ancient
4.9.0-0.rc0 kernel):

Note, security_set_bools() calls write_lock_irq(). peernet2id() calls
spin_unlock_bh().

Here, pay attention to ib_nl_make_request() which calls
spin_lock_irqsave() on a global lock just before calling
rdma_nl_multicast(). Thereafter, peernet2id() enables SoftIRQs, and
ipoib starts and calls the same path and ends up trying to acquire the
same global lock again.

		* rtnl_valid_dump_net_req() has a very minimal
                  implementation in 4.14, hence only a simple
                  substituting of spin_{lock,unlock}_bh() with
                  rcu_spin_{lock,unlock}() was required
