Jens Axboe c1e2148f8e io_uring: free fixed_file_data after RCU grace period
The percpu refcount protects this structure, and we can have an atomic
switch in progress when exiting. This makes it unsafe to just free the
struct normally, and can trigger the following KASAN warning:

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu+0xfa/0x1b0

Fix this by punting the final exit and free of the struct to RCU, then
we know that it's safe to do so. Jann suggested the approach of using a
double rcu callback to achieve this. It's important that we do a nested
call_rcu() callback, as otherwise the free could be ordered before the
atomic switch, even if the latter was already queued.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
