commit 3b9a907223d7f6b9d1dadea29436842ae9bcd76d upstream.
free_user() could be called in atomic context.
This patch pushed the free operation off into a workqueue.
Example:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/workqueue.c:2856
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, pid: 177, name: ksoftirqd/27

Hardware name: AIC 1S-HV26-08/MB-DPSB04-06, BIOS IVYBV060 10/21/2015
