Well, I knew it was completely wrong from the beginning, sorry
to say :-)

This stuff can't be done outside of RCU, period.  I moved all of this
work into RCU for a reason, I really meant it, and none of the reasons
for that move have changed :-)

If we want to do it under RTNL we have to do something like schedule a
workqueue from the RCU handler and then take the RTNL there.
