I take it back.

The crucial thing to insert a rcu delay before is
shrink_dcache_for_umount.

With the call chain:
kill_anon_super
    generic_shutdown_super
        shrink_dcache_for_umount.

So we do need synchronize_rcu or to put everything below this point into
a call_rcu function.

The practical concern is mntput calls does task_work_add.
The task_work function is cleanup_mnt.
When called cleanup_mnt calls deactivate_locked_super
which in turn calls proc_kill_sb.

Which is a long way of saying that the code will delay the
exit of the process that calls mntput by 10ms (or
however syncrhonize_rcu runs).

We probably don't care.  But that is long enough in to be user
visible, and potentially cause problems.

But all it requires putting the code below in it's own
function and triggering it with call_rcu if that causes a regression
by bying so slow.
