commit release path is invoked via call_rcu and it runs lockless to
release the objects after rcu grace period. The netlink notifier handler
might win race to remove objects that the transaction context is still
referencing from the commit release path.
Call rcu_barrier() to ensure pending rcu callbacks run to completion
if the list of transactions to be destroyed is not empty.
