I thought someone might think this is not a kernel issue but the reproducer is
insane or 'rcu_barrier()' needs modification. I wanted to do such discussion
on the coverletter. Seems I misjudged. I will make this single patch and move
the detailed information here from the next version.

Oh, got it. I definitely misunderstood. My fault, sorry.

So, what you are suggesting is to use a dedicated non-ordered work queue
(fqdir_wq) for rhashtable cleanup and do the remaining works with system_wq in
the batched manner, right? IOW, doing below change on top of this patch.
