Eric Dumazet 72c9528bab net: Introduce dev_get_by_name_rcu()
Some workloads hit dev_base_lock rwlock pretty hard.
We can use RCU lookups to avoid touching this rwlock
(and avoid touching netdevice refcount)

netdevices are already freed after a RCU grace period, so this patch
adds no penalty at device dismantle time.

However, it adds a synchronize_rcu() call in dev_change_name()
