To return an endpoint to the userspace via Netlink, and to dump all of
them, the endpoint list was iterated while holding the pernet->lock, but
only to read the content of the list.
In these cases, the spin locks can be replaced by RCU read ones, and use
the _rcu variants to iterate over the entries list in a lockless way.
Note that the __lookup_addr_by_id() helper has been modified to use the
_rcu variants of list_for_each_entry(), but with an extra conditions, so
it can be called either while the RCU read lock is held, or when the
associated pernet->lock is held.

Notes:
- This is not a fix, a small improvement for -next.
- v3:
- Use list_for_each_entry_rcu() with lockdep_is_held() instead of
duplicating the helper. So no need to rename the helper with _rcu
suffix.
- No copy of the bitmap in dump_addr() (Mat)
- No need to modify set flags. (Paolo)
