rtnetlink: add reference counting to prevent module unload while dump is in progress
I don't see what prevents rmmod (unregister_all is called) while a dump is active. Even if we'd add rtnl lock/unlock pair to unregister_all (as done here), thats not enough either as rtnl_lock is released right before the dump process starts. So this adds a refcount: * acquire rtnl mutex * bump refcount * release mutex * start the dump ... and make unregister_all remove the callbacks (no new dumps possible) and then wait until refcount is 0.
