From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> commit 24b70eeeb4f46c09487f8155239ebfb1f875774a upstream. Many of the synchronization points are sometimes called under the rtnl lock, which means we should use synchronize_net rather than synchronize_rcu. Under the hood, this expands to using the expedited flavor of function in the event that rtnl is held, in order to not stall other concurrent changes. This fixes some very, very long delays when removing multiple peers at once, which would cause some operations to take several minutes.
