vt: synchronize_rcu() under spinlock is not nice...
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. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
