I started wondering, have you seen any complaints from might_sleep when
freeing pags after a failed growfs?  Then I wondered if growfs_data
could actually take any locks that would prevent sleeping, which led me
to another question: why do growfs_{data,log} hold m_growlock but
growfs_rt doesn't?  Is that actually safe?

I think the kfree_rcu_mightsleep conversion is ok, but I want to see if
anything blows up with the rtgroups variant.
