[2/5] nfnetlink_queue: Use rcu_barrier() on module unload.

This module uses rcu_call() thus it should use rcu_barrier() on module unload.

Also fixed a trivial typo 'nfetlink' -> 'nfnetlink' in comment.

Assuming that netlink_unregister_notifier(), nfnetlink_subsys_unregister(),
and so on prevent any subsequent calls to call_rcu(), looks good!!!

Possibly you've fixed the bug which the module_put(THIS_MODULE) in
instance_destroy_rcu() is addressing.

Do we still need to take a ref against the module for each instance
once the above fix is in place?

<goes git mining>

Nope, the THIS_MODULE games have been there since day one, and I can't
work out why they're there.  net/netfilter/nfnetlink_log.c has them
too.
