Subject[PATCH 014/102] vt: synchronize_rcu() under spinlock is not nice...
Date
3.5.7.10 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

commit e8cd81693bbbb15db57d3c9aa7dd90eda4842874 upstream.

vcs_poll_data_free() calls unregister_vt_notifier(), which calls
atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(), which calls synchronize_rcu().
Do it *after* we'd dropped ->f_lock.
