Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 020/160] fou: clean up socket with kfree_rcu

3.19.8-ckt13 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit 3036facbb7be3a169e35be3b271162b0fa564a2d ]

fou->udp_offloads is managed by RCU. As it is actually included inside
the fou sockets, we cannot let the memory go out of scope before a grace
period. We either can synchronize_rcu or switch over to kfree_rcu to
manage the sockets. kfree_rcu seems appropriate as it is used by vxlan
and geneve.
