    mm/tcache: fix rcu_read_lock()/rcu_read_unlock() imbalance
    
    tcache_detach_page()
    
            rcu_read_lock();
    repeat:
            .....
            rcu_read_unlock();
    
            if (page) {
                    ...
                    page = tcache_page_tree_delete(node, index, page);
                    ....
                    if (!page)
                            goto repeat; // <- will cause rcu_read_unlock() without lock
    
    Take rcu lock before the last 'goto repeat;' in tcache_detach_page().
