rculist: Remove postponed poisoning.
Postponed 'next' member poisoning was based on the faulty assumption
that postponed functions would be called in the order they were
postponed. This assumption holds only for the functions postponed by
any single thread. When functions are postponed by different
threads, there are no guarantees of the order in which the functions
may be called, or timing between those calls after the next grace
period has passed.
Given this, the postponed poisoning could have executed after
postponed destruction of the object containing the rculist element.
This bug was revealed after the memory leaks on rule deletion were
recently fixed.
This patch removes the postponed 'next' member poisoning and adds
documentation describing the ordering limitations in OVS RCU.
