RCU barriers, rcu_barrier(), is inserted two places.
In nf_conntrack_expect.c nf_conntrack_expect_fini() before the
kmem_cache_destroy(). Firstly to make sure the callback to the
nf_ct_expect_free_rcu() code is still around. Secondly because I'm
unsure about the consequence of having in flight
nf_ct_expect_free_rcu/kmem_cache_free() calls while doing a
kmem_cache_destroy() slab destroy.
And in nf_conntrack_extend.c nf_ct_extend_unregister(), inorder to
wait for completion of callbacks to __nf_ct_ext_free_rcu(), which is
invoked by __nf_ct_ext_add(). It might be more efficient to call
rcu_barrier() in nf_conntrack_core.c nf_conntrack_cleanup_net(), but
thats make it more difficult to read the code (as the callback code
in located in nf_conntrack_extend.c).
