rtnetlink: Introduce struct rtnl_nets and helpers.

rtnl_newlink() needs to hold 3 per-netns RTNL: 2 for a new device
and 1 for its peer.

We will add rtnl_nets_lock() later, which performs the nested locking
based on struct rtnl_nets, which has an array of struct net pointers.

rtnl_nets_add() adds a net pointer to the array and sorts it so that
rtnl_nets_lock() can simply acquire per-netns RTNL from array[0] to [2].

Before calling rtnl_nets_add(), get_net() must be called for the net,
and rtnl_nets_destroy() will call put_net() for each.

Let's apply the helpers to rtnl_newlink().

When CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL is disabled, we do not call
rtnl_net_lock() thus do not care about the array order, so
rtnl_net_cmp_locks() returns -1 so that the loop in rtnl_nets_add()
can be optimised to NOP.
