Summary

These are global (i.e. shared across vnets) structures, so we need
global lock to protect them. However, we look up entries in these lists
(find_aqm_type(), find_sched_type()) and return them. We must ensure
that the returned structures cannot go away while we are using them.

Resolve this by using NET_EPOCH(). The structures can be safely accessed
under it, and we postpone their cleanup until we're sure they're no
longer used.
