Dave Chinner 231f91ab50 xfs: xfs_buf cache destroy isn't RCU safe
Darrick and Sachin Sant reported that xfs/435 and xfs/436 would
report an non-empty xfs_buf slab on module remove. This isn't easily
to reproduce, but is clearly a side effect of converting the buffer
caceh to RUC freeing and lockless lookups. Sachin bisected and
Darrick hit it when testing the patchset directly.

Turns out that the xfs_buf slab is not destroyed when all the other
XFS slab caches are destroyed. Instead, it's got it's own little
wrapper function that gets called separately, and so it doesn't have
an rcu_barrier() call in it that is needed to drain all the rcu
callbacks before the slab is destroyed.

Fix it by removing the xfs_buf_init/terminate wrappers that just
allocate and destroy the xfs_buf slab, and move them to the same
place that all the other slab caches are set up and destroyed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
