net: avoid synchronize_rcu() in dev_deactivate_many
dev_deactivate_many() issues one synchronize_rcu() call after qdiscs set
to noop_qdisc.
This call is here to make sure they are no outstanding qdisc-less
dev_queue_xmit calls before returning to caller.
But in dismantle phase, we dont have to wait, because we wont activate
again the device, and we are going to wait one rcu grace period later in
rollback_registered_many().
After this patch, device dismantle uses one synchronize_net() and one
rcu_barrier() call only, so we have a ~30% speedup and a smaller RTNL
latency.
