net sched: fix race in mirred device removal
This fixes hang when target device of mirred packet classifier action is removed. If a mirror or redirection action is configured to cause packets to go to another device, the classifier holds a ref count, but was assuming the adminstrator cleaned up all redirections before removing. The fix is to add a notifier and cleanup during unregister. The new list is implicitly protected by RTNL mutex because it is held during filter add/delete as well as notifier.
