This reverts commit cc00bcaa589914096edef7fb87ca5cee4a166b5c. This (and the preceding) patch basically re-implemented the RCU mechanisms of patch 784544739a25. That patch was replaced because of the performance problems that it created when replacing tables. Now, we have the same issue: the call to synchronize_rcu() makes replacing tables slower by as much as an order of magnitude. See https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/151796/ for why using RCU is not a good idea. Revert these patches and fix the issue in a different way.
