While here is there any reason for:
rcu_assign_pointer(mm->ioctx_table, NULL);

Nothing looks at this pointer afterwards and mm is about to be freed.

I thought it would be used to sanity check that everything was cleared
before freeing, but that is nod one and not every pointer is nullified
anyway.
