Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ext4: add rcu to prevent use after free when umount filesystem

There is a race between bdev_try_to_free_page() and
jbd2_journal_destroy() that could end up triggering a use after free
issue about journal.

drop cache                           umount filesystem
bdev_try_to_free_page()
 get journal
 jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers()  ext4_put_super()
                                      kfree(journal)
   access journal <-- lead to UAF

The above race also could happens between the bdev_try_to_free_page()
and the error path of ext4_fill_super(). This patch avoid this race by
add rcu protection around accessing sbi->s_journal in
bdev_try_to_free_page() and destroy the journal after an rcu grace
period.
