net: free altname using an RCU callback

Browse source

We had to add another synchronize_rcu() in recent fix.
Bite the bullet and add an rcu_head to netdev_name_node,
free from RCU.

Note that name_node does not hold any reference on dev
to which it points, but there must be a synchronize_rcu()
on device removal path, so we should be fine.
