raw_release() removes the socket from raw_notifier_list before it takes
rtnl_lock(). As the netdev notifier chain runs under RTNL, a socket that
leaves the list in this window is skipped by raw_notify(). This is not
harmful for raw as the filters are removed with dev_net(ro->dev) under
RTNL, but the receivers may briefly remain on a device that has already
been moved to another namespace.
Align raw_release() with the isotp and bcm fixes for the same window and
take rtnl_lock() before removing the socket from the notifier list. As
raw_busy_notifier can not point to the released socket under RTNL,
replace the busy-wait loop with a WARN_ON_ONCE().
