Subject: [PATCH v2 5/7] erofs: kill erofs_{init,exit}_inode_cache

As Christoph said [1] "having this function
seems entirely pointless", I have to kill those.

filesystem                              function name
ext2,f2fs,ext4,isofs,squashfs,cifs,...  init_inodecache

In addition, add a "rcu_barrier()" when exit_fs();
