[PATCH v2] rxrpc: Fix use-after-free in rxrpc_destroy_all_peers()

From: Marco Elver <elver@google.com>

During network namespace teardown, rxrpc_destroy_all_peers() iterates over
the rxnet->peer_hash table to print leaked peers without holding
rxnet->peer_hash_lock. If concurrent activity or asynchronous teardown
drops the last reference to a peer, __rxrpc_put_peer() unlinks the peer
from rxnet->peer_hash and frees it via kfree_rcu(). Without locking,
traversal can follow an unlinked peer or race with RCU reclamation,
triggering a KASAN slab-use-after-free.

 </TASK>

To fix the slab-use-after-free, acquire rxnet->peer_hash_lock with
spin_lock_bh() while iterating over rxnet->peer_hash in
rxrpc_destroy_all_peers().

Additionally, split netns teardown by implementing .pre_exit in
rxrpc_net_ops to clean up calls, connections, and keepalive work. This
ensures in-flight references are released before cleanup_net() executes
its intermediate synchronize_rcu(), so that peer and local endpoint leak
checks in rxrpc_exit_net() run only after deferred RCU releases complete,
avoiding spurious leak warnings.

v2:
* Split teardown and use .pre_exit instead of rcu_barrier() (Eric).
