Extend action ops with 'delete' function. Each action type to implements its own delete function that doesn't depend on rtnl lock. Implement delete function that is required to delete actions without holding rtnl lock. Use action API function that atomically deletes action only if it is still in action idr. This implementation prevents concurrent threads from deleting same action twice.
I fail to understand why you introduce ops->delete(), it seems all you want is getting the tn->idrinfo, but you already have tc_action before calling ops->delete(), and tc_action has ->idrinfo... Each type of action does the same too, that is, just calling tcf_idr_delete_index()... This changelog sucks again, it claims for skipping rtnl lock, but you can skip rtnl lock by just calling tcf_idr_delete_index() directly too, it is not the reason for adding ops->delete().
