Well I think that what you describe is out of scope of this patch. It is
another optimization of fib_notifier. The aim of this patchset is not
optimization of fib_notifier, but devlink netns change. This patchset is
just a dependency.
Can't we do optimization in another patchset? I already struggled to
keep this one within 15-patch limit.
