netlink: Convert netlink_lookup() to use RCU protected hash table

Heavy Netlink users such as Open vSwitch spend a considerable amount of
time in netlink_lookup() due to the read-lock on nl_table_lock. Use of
RCU relieves the lock contention.

Makes use of the new resizable hash table to avoid locking on the
lookup.

The hash table will grow if entries exceeds 75% of table size up to a
total table size of 64K. It will automatically shrink if usage falls
below 30%.

Also splits nl_table_lock into a separate mutex to protect hash table
mutations and allow synchronize_rcu() to sleep while waiting for readers
during expansion and shrinking.
