net_sched: convert idrinfo->lock from spinlock to a mutex

In commit ec3ed293e766 ("net_sched: change tcf_del_walker() to take idrinfo->lock")
we move fl_hw_destroy_tmplt() to a workqueue to avoid blocking
with the spinlock held. Unfortunately, this causes a lot of
troubles here:

1. tcf_chain_destroy() could be called right after we queue the work
   but before the work runs. This is a use-after-free.

2. The chain refcnt is already 0, we can't even just hold it again.
   We can check refcnt==1 but it is ugly.

3. The chain with refcnt 0 is still visible in its block, which means
   it could be still found and used!

4. The block has a refcnt too, we can't hold it without introducing a
   proper API either.

We can make it working but the end result is ugly. Instead of wasting
time on reviewing it, let's just convert the troubling spinlock to
a mutex, which allows us to use non-atomic allocations too.
