[NET]: gen_estimator deadlock fix
-Fixes ABBA deadlock noted by Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>:
> There is at least one ABBA deadlock, est_timer() does:
> read_lock(&est_lock)
> spin_lock(e->stats_lock) (which is dev->queue_lock)
>
> and qdisc_destroy calls htb_destroy under dev->queue_lock, which
> calls htb_destroy_class, then gen_kill_estimator and this
> write_locks est_lock.
To fix the ABBA deadlock the rate estimators are now kept on an rcu list.
-The est_lock changes the use from protecting the list to protecting
the update to the 'bstat' pointer in order to avoid NULL dereferencing.
-The 'interval' member of the gen_estimator structure removed as it is
not needed.
