Thanks a lot, Ulad! Locally it makde the kunit test stop failing and for now
I've pushed it as part of my series for bots to test:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/linux.git/log/?h=slab-kfree_rcu-destroy-v2r0

I hope after RCU folks review I can carry this in my series and later the
slab git tree so we don't have inter-tree dependencies. Thanks!
