rcu_read_lock/rcu_read_unlock has already provide protection for the pointer we will reference when we call c_show. Therefore, there is no need to obtain a cache reference to help protect cache_head. Additionally, the .put such as expkey_put/svc_export_put will invoke dput, which can sleep and break rcu. Stop get cache reference to fix them all.
