Introduce RCU in all set types instead of rwlock per set

Performance is tested by Jesper Dangaard Brouer:

Simple drop in FORWARD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dropping via simple iptables net-mask match::

 iptables -t raw -N simple || iptables -t raw -F simple
 iptables -t raw -I simple  -s 198.18.0.0/15 -j DROP
 iptables -t raw -D PREROUTING -j simple
 iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING -j simple

Drop performance in "raw": 11.3Mpps

Generator: sending 12.2Mpps (tx:12264083 pps)

Drop via original ipset in RAW table
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Create a set with lots of elements::

 sudo ./ipset destroy test
 echo "create test hash:ip hashsize 65536" > test.set
 for x in `seq 0 255`; do
    for y in `seq 0 255`; do
        echo "add test 198.18.$x.$y" >> test.set
    done
 done
 sudo ./ipset restore < test.set

Dropping via ipset::

 iptables -t raw -F
 iptables -t raw -N net198 || iptables -t raw -F net198
 iptables -t raw -I net198 -m set --match-set test src -j DROP
 iptables -t raw -I PREROUTING -j net198

Drop performance in "raw" with ipset: 8Mpps

Drop via ipset in RAW table with RCU-locking
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With RCU locking, the RW-lock is gone.

Drop performance in "raw" with ipset with RCU-locking: 11.3Mpps
