From: Yang Erkun <yangerkun@xxxxxxxxxx> rcu_read_lock/rcu_read_unlock has already protect any ptr we will when we call c_show. No need get cache ref. Besides, cache_put may drop the last ref for cache_head, and the .put like expkey_put/svc_export_put will call dput, which may sleep, and this will break rcu protection.
