* One transaction comes in one batch packet composed of several
netlink messages from user-space.
* All rule updates are handled as transactions.
* No need for explicit begin, commit and abort commands.
* Get rid of the extra struct list_head per rule: a temporary
object is allocated to store the rule update information.
* There is a single list per net namespace that contains pending
rule updates.
* The transaction list is now owned by the netlink socket portid
that adds the first rule that waits to be committed. If another
process wants to perform some rule-set update, it hits -EBUSY.
Chances to hit this are low, as it is limited to the time that
is required to process a batch.
Thanks to Patrick McHardy and Tomasz Burstyka for feedback and
brainstorming on this patch.
