Mark Tomlinson c46cd29b89 Revert "netfilter: x_tables: Switch synchronization to RCU"
[ Upstream commit d3d40f237480abf3268956daf18cdc56edd32834 ]

This reverts commit cc00bcaa589914096edef7fb87ca5cee4a166b5c.

This (and the preceding) patch basically re-implemented the RCU
mechanisms of patch 784544739a. That patch was replaced because of the
performance problems that it created when replacing tables. Now, we have
the same issue: the call to synchronize_rcu() makes replacing tables
slower by as much as an order of magnitude.

Prior to using RCU a script calling "iptables" approx. 200 times was
taking 1.16s. With RCU this increased to 11.59s.

Revert these patches and fix the issue in a different way.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
