target: Perform RCU callback barrier before backend/fabric unload
This patch addresses a v4.2-rc1 regression where backend driver module unload happening immediately after TBO->free_device() does internal call_rcu(), will currently result in IRQ context rcu_process_callbacks() use-after-free paging OOPsen. It adds the missing rcu_barrier() in target_backend_unregister() to perform an explicit RCU barrier waiting for all RCU callbacks to complete before releasing target_backend_ops memory, and allowing TBO->module exit to proceed. Also, do the same for fabric drivers in target_unregister_template() to ensure se_deve_entry->rcu_head -> kfree_rcu() callbacks have completed, before allowing target_core_fabric_ops->owner module exit to proceed.
