Jarno Rajahalme 2541d75983 rculist: Remove postponed poisoning.
Postponed 'next' member poisoning was based on the faulty assumption
that postponed functions would be called in the order they were
postponed.  This assumption holds only for the functions postponed by
any single thread.  When functions are postponed by different
threads, there are no guarantees of the order in which the functions
may be called, or timing between those calls after the next grace
period has passed.

Given this, the postponed poisoning could have executed after
postponed destruction of the object containing the rculist element.

This bug was revealed after the memory leaks on rule deletion were
recently fixed.

This patch removes the postponed 'next' member poisoning and adds
documentation describing the ordering limitations in OVS RCU.

Alex Wang dug out the root cause of the resulting crashes, thanks!

/* A single writer multiple RCU-reader doubly linked list.
*
* RCU readers may iterate over the list at the same time as a writer is
* modifying the list. Multiple writers can be supported by use of mutual
* exclusion, but rculist does not provide that, as the user of rculist
* typically does that already.
*
* To be RCU-friendly, the struct rculist instances must be freed via
* ovsrcu_postpone().
*
* The API is almost the same as for struct ovs_list, with the following
* exeptions:
*
* - The 'prev' pointer may not be accessed by the user.
* - The 'next' pointer should be accessed via rculist_next() by readers, and
* rculist_next_protected() by the writer.
* - No rculist_moved(): due to the memory management limitation stated above,
* rculist instances may not be reallocated, as realloc may instantly free
* the old memory.
* - rculist_front() returns a const pointer to accommodate for an RCU reader.
* - rculist_splice_hidden(): Spliced elements may not have been visible to
* RCU readers before the operation.
* - rculist_poison(): Only poisons the 'prev' pointer.
*
* The following functions are variations of the struct ovs_list functions with
* similar names, but are now restricted to the writer use:
*
* - rculist_back_protected()
* - rculist_is_short_protected()
* - rculist_is_singleton_protected()
