datapath: Fix race against workqueue in dp_dev and simplify code.
The dp_dev_destroy() function failed to cancel the xmit_queue work, which
allowed it to run after the device had been destroyed, accessing freed
memory. However, simply canceling the work with cancel_work_sync() would
be insufficient, since other packets could get queued while the work
function was running. Stopping the queue with netif_tx_disable() doesn't
help, because the final action in dp_dev_do_xmit() is to re-enable the TX
queue.
This issue led me to re-examine why the dp_dev needs to use a work_struct
at all. This was implemented in commit
71f13ed0b "Send of0 packets from
workqueue, to avoid recursive locking of ofN device" due to a complaint
from lockdep about recursive locking.
However, there's no actual reason that we need any locking around
dp_dev_xmit(). Until now, it has accepted the standard locking provided
by the network stack. But looking at the other software devices (veth,
loopback), those use NETIF_F_LLTX, which disables this locking, and
presumably do so for this very reason. In fact, the lwn article at
http://lwn.net/Articles/121566/ hints that NETIF_F_LLTX, which is otherwise
discouraged in the kernel, is acceptable for "certain types of software
device."
So this commit switches to using NETIF_F_LLTX for dp_dev and gets rid
of the work_struct.
In the process, I noticed that veth and loopback also take advantage of
a network device destruction "hook" using the net_device "destructor"
member. Using this we can automatically get called on network device
destruction at the point where rtnl_unlock() is called. This allows us
to stop stringing the dp_devs that are being destroyed onto a list so
that we can free them, and thus simplifies the code along all the paths
that call dp_dev_destroy().
This commit gets rid of a call to synchronize_rcu() (disguised as a call
to synchronize_net(), which is a macro that expands to synchronize_rcu()),
so it probably speeds up deleting ports, too.

Provide method to locate device by IP and add more nodev functions to netdev
In some cases we need to be able to locate a device by its IPv4 address.
There doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this on Linux, so we iterate
through all devices until it's found. The caller can provide a hint as
to the device, so subsequent checks can be quicker.
This checkin also adds nodev versions of functions to lookup ARP entries
and the IPv4 address of a device.

Introduce general-purpose ways to wait for dpif and netdev changes.
