As we need a variable anyway make nf_register_queue_handler and nf_unregister_queue_handler pernet. This allows the existing logic of when it is safe to use the state from the nfnetlink_queue module to be reused with no changes except for making it per net. The syncrhonize_rcu from nf_unregister_queue_handler is moved to a new function nfnl_queue_net_exit_batch so that the worst case of having a syncrhonize_rcu in the pernet exit path is not experienced in batch mode.
