Subject: [PATCH 5.4 179/475] dax: make sure inodes are flushed before destroy cache

From: Tong Zhang <ztong0001@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit a7e8de822e0b1979f08767c751f6c8a9c1d4ad86 ]

A bug can be triggered by following command

$ modprobe nd_pmem && modprobe -r nd_pmem

[   10.060014] BUG dax_cache (Not tainted): Objects remaining in dax_cache on __kmem_cache_shutdown()
[   10.060938] Slab 0x0000000085b729ac objects=9 used=1 fp=0x000000004f5ae469 flags=0x200000000010200(slab|head|node)
[   10.062433] Call Trace:
[   10.062673]  dump_stack_lvl+0x34/0x44
[   10.062865]  slab_err+0x90/0xd0

[   10.064058]  __x64_sys_delete_module+0x265/0x300

This is caused by dax_fs_exit() not flushing inodes before destroy cache.
To fix this issue, call rcu_barrier() before destroy cache.
