[PATCH 18/20] xfs: use RCU to free 'struct xfs_mount'.

From: NeilBrown
Date: Sun Mar 22 2015 - 22:39:54 EST


In order for ->follow_link to be safe in RCU-walk, any
data structures accessed need to be freed after
an RCU grace period.

'struct xfs_mount' is not currently guaranteed to be delayed
sufficiently, so use kfree_rcu() to free it.
