[Devel] [PATCH -mm v15 07/13] fs: do not call destroy_super() in atomic context

[Vladimir Davydov]

To make list_lru per-memcg, I'll have to add some code that might sleep
to list_lru_destroy(), but it is impossible to do now, because
list_lru_destroy() is currently called by destroy_super(), which can be
called in atomic context from __put_super().

To overcome this, in this patch I make __put_super() schedule the super
block destruction in an asynchronous work instead of calling
destroy_super() directly.
