ipmr: Remove RTNL in ipmr_rules_init() and ipmr_net_init().

Browse source

When ipmr_free_table() is called from ipmr_rules_init() or
ipmr_net_init(), the netns is not yet published.

Thus, no device should have been registered, and
mroute_clean_tables() will not call vif_delete(), so
unregister_netdevice_many() is unnecessary.

unregister_netdevice_many() does nothing if the list is empty,
but it requires RTNL due to the unconditional ASSERT_RTNL()
at the entry of unregister_netdevice_many_notify().

Let's remove unnecessary RTNL and ASSERT_RTNL() and instead
add WARN_ON_ONCE() in ipmr_free_table().

Note that we use a local list for the new WARN_ON_ONCE() because
dev_kill_list passed from ipmr_rules_exit_rtnl() may have some
devices when other ops->init() fails after ipmr durnig setup_net().
