Subject: [PATCH 5.0 113/139] securityfs: fix use-after-free on symlink traversal

[ Upstream commit 46c874419652bbefdfed17420fd6e88d8a31d9ec ]

symlink body shouldn't be freed without an RCU delay.  Switch securityfs
to ->destroy_inode() and use of call_rcu(); free both the inode and symlink
body in the callback.
