vfs: handle __wait_on_freeing_inode() and evict() race
Lockless hash lookup can find and lock the inode after it gets the
I_FREEING flag set, at which point it blocks waiting for teardown in
evict() to finish.

However, the flag is still set even after evict() wakes up all waiters.

This results in a race where if the inode lock is taken late enough, it
can happen after both hash removal and wakeups, meaning there is nobody
to wake the racing thread up.

This worked prior to RCU-based lookup because the entire ordeal was
synchronized with the inode hash lock.

Since unhashing requires the inode lock, we can safely check whether it
happened after acquiring it.

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 reStructuredText 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.
