Reword to imperative style?

The callback function of call_rcu() just calls kvfree(). So, use
kvfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu() + callback function.

Just a note: rcu_barrier() does not wait for kvfree_rcu() callbacks to complete. It only
waits for call_rcu() callbacks. For kvfree_rcu() callbacks, kvfree_rcu_barrier()
is required to wait for previously enqueued kvfree_rcu() callbacks to complete. As
rcu_barrier() is not used for apic_map free callbacks, this looks fine.
