There is a race conditions between packet_notifier and packet_bind{_spkt}.
It happens if packet_notifier(NETDEV_UNREGISTER) executes between the
time packet_bind{_spkt} takes a reference on the new netdevice and the
time packet_do_bind sets po->ifindex.
In this case the notification can be missed.
If this happens during a dev_change_net_namespace this can result in the
netdevice to be moved to the new namespace while the packet_sock in the
old namespace still holds a reference on it. When the netdevice is later
deleted in the new namespace the deletion hangs since the packet_sock
is not found in the new namespace' &net->packet.sklist.
It can be reproduced with the script below.
This patch makes packet_do_bind check again for the presence of the
netdevice in the packet_sock's namespace after the synchronize_net
in unregister_prot_hook.
More in general it also uses the rcu lock for the duration of the bind
to stop dev_change_net_namespace/rollback_registered_many from
going past the synchronize_net following unlist_netdevice, so that
no NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifications can happen on the new netdevice
while the bind is executing. In order to do this some code from
packet_bind{_spkt} is consolidated into packet_do_dev.

proto=7

os.system('ip link add link %s name %s type vlan id %d' %
(realDev, dev, vlanId))
