[PATCH] netlink: fix netlink_change_ngroups()

[Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>]

commit 6c04bb18ddd633 (netlink: use call_rcu for netlink_change_ngroups)
used a somewhat convoluted and racy way to perform call_rcu().

The old block of memory is freed after a grace period, but the rcu_head
used to track it is located in new block.

This can clash if we call two times or more netlink_change_ngroups(),
and a block is freed before another. call_rcu() called on different cpus
makes no guarantee in order of callbacks.

Fix this using a more standard way of handling this : Each block of
memory contains its own rcu_head, so that no 'use after free' can
happens.
