We will convert RTM_NEWROUTE and RTM_DELROUTE to per-netns RTNL.
Then, we need to have per-netns hash tables for struct fib_info.

Let's allocate the hash tables per netns.

fib_info_hash, fib_info_hash_bits, and fib_info_cnt are now moved
to struct netns_ipv4 and accessed with net-&gt;ipv4.fib_XXX.

Also, the netns checks are removed from fib_find_info_nh() and
fib_find_info().

When the number of struct fib_info exceeds the hash table size in
fib_create_info(), we try to allocate a new hash table with the
doubled size.

The allocation is done in fib_create_info(), and if successful, each
struct fib_info is moved to the new hash table by fib_info_hash_move().

Let's integrate the allocation and fib_info_hash_move() as
fib_info_hash_grow() to make the following change cleaner.

While at it, fib_info_hash_grow() is placed near other hash-table-specific
functions.

We will allocate the fib_info hash tables per netns.

There are 5 global variables for fib_info hash tables:
fib_info_hash, fib_info_laddrhash, fib_info_hash_size,
fib_info_hash_bits, fib_info_cnt.

However, fib_info_laddrhash and fib_info_hash_size can be
easily calculated from fib_info_hash and fib_info_hash_bits.

Let's remove fib_info_hash_size and use (1 &lt;&lt; fib_info_hash_bits)
instead.

Now we need not pass the new hash table size to fib_info_hash_move().

Let's move the first allocation to a new __net_init function.

Note that we must call fib4_semantics_exit() in fib_net_exit_batch()

After the prior patch, fib_info_lock became redundant
because all of its users are holding RTNL.

BH protection is not needed.

Remove the READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() annotations around fib_info_cnt,
