sb->s_fs_info can only be safely freed after generic_shutdown_super was called and all access to the super_block has stopped. Thus only free the private data after calling kill_litter_super, which calls generic_shutdown_super internally. Also remove the pointless clearing of sb->s_fs_info as the super_block can't be accessed at this point and will be freed immediately.
