macvtap: rework object lifetime rules

This reworks the change done by the previous patch
in a more complete way.

The original macvtap code has a number of problems
resulting from the use of RCU for protecting the
access to struct macvtap_queue from open files.

This includes
- need for GFP_ATOMIC allocations for skbs
- potential deadlocks when copy_*_user sleeps
- inability to work with vhost-net

Changing the lifetime of macvtap_queue to always
depend on the open file solves all these. The
RCU reference simply moves one step down to
the reference on the macvlan_dev, which we
only need for nonblocking operations.
