From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 8e556432477e97ad6179c61b61a32bf5f1af2355 upstream. To mirror the SRCU lock held in eventfs_iterate() when iterating over eventfs inodes, use call_srcu() to free them too. This was accidentally(?) degraded to RCU in commit 43aa6f97c2d0 ("eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts").
