dlm: add rcu_barrier before destroy kmem cache
In the case we trigger dlm_free_rsb() that does a call_rcu() and the responding kfree() of res_lvbptr and a kmem_cache_free() of the rsb pointer we need to wait until this pending operation is done before calling kmem_cache_destroy(). We doing that by using rcu_barrier() that waits until all pending call_rcu() are done. This avoids that kmem_cache_destroy() complains about active objects around that are not being freed yet by call_rcu(). There is currently more discussions about to make this behaviour better, see: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/ However this is only for call_rcu() if the callback calls kmem_cache_destroy() only to replace it by kfree_rcu() call which has currently some issue. This isn't our case because we also free the res_lvbptr if being set. For our case, to avoid the above race rcu_barrier() should be used before calling kmem_cache_destroy() to be sure that there are no active objects around. This is exactly what net/batman-adv is also doing before calling their kmem_cache_destroy() in module unloading.
