netlink: move nl_table in read_mostly section
netlink sockets creation and deletion heavily modify nl_table_users
and nl_table_lock.
If nl_table is sharing one cache line with one of them, netlink
performance is really bad on SMP.
ffffffff81ff5f00 B nl_table
ffffffff81ff5f0c b nl_table_users
Putting nl_table in read_mostly section increased performance
of my open/delete netlink sockets test by about 80 %
This came up while diagnosing a getaddrinfo() problem.
