net: fib_rules: Only hold RTNL for the first IPv4 RTM_NEWRULE.

Now, RTM_DELRULE no longer needs RTNL, and the only RTNL dependant
in RTM_NEWRULE is fib_unmerge(), which is called for the first
IPv4 rule.

Let's add fib_rules_ops.need_rtnl() and hold RTNL only for the
first IPv4 rule.

Tested:
The script below creates 1K rules in parallel in 4K netns, and
it got 20x/30x faster for IPv4/IPv6.

  #!/bin/bash
  N=4096
  F=rules.txt

  for i in $(seq $N); do ip netns add ns-$i; done
  printf 'rule add from all table %d\n' {1..1024} > $F

  for v in 4 6; do
  	echo "=== IPv${v} ==="
  	time { for i in $(seq $N); do nsenter \
  	--net=/var/run/netns/ns-$i ip -$v -batch $F & done; wait; }
  done

  for i in $(seq $N); do ip netns del ns-$i; done
  rm -f $F

Without this series:

  # ./test.sh
  === IPv4 ===
