net: Introduce dev_get_by_name_rcu() ...
Some workloads hit dev_base_lock rwlock pretty hard.
We can use RCU lookups to avoid touching this rwlock
(and avoid touching netdevice refcount)
netdevices are already freed after a RCU grace period, so this patch
adds no penalty at device dismantle time.
However, it adds a synchronize_rcu() call in dev_change_name()
