3.5.7.10 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Al Viro <[email protected]> commit e8cd81693bbbb15db57d3c9aa7dd90eda4842874 upstream. vcs_poll_data_free() calls unregister_vt_notifier(), which calls atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(), which calls synchronize_rcu(). Do it *after* we'd dropped ->f_lock.
