Deleting list entry within hlist_for_each_entry_safe is not safe unless
next pointer (tmp) is protected too. It's not, because once hash_lock
is released, cache_clean may delete the entry that tmp points to. Then
cache_purge can walk to a deleted entry and tries to double free it.
Fix this bug by holding only the deleted entry's reference.
