Subject: [PATCH v1 6/6] mm/list_lru.c: remove kvfree_rcu_local() function

Since there is newly introduced kvfree_rcu() API,
there is no need in queuing and using call_rcu()
to kvfree() an object after the GP.

Remove kvfree_rcu_local() function and replace
call_rcu() by new kvfree_rcu() API that does
the same but in more efficient way.
