From: SeongJae Park <sjp...@amazon.de> This reverts commit 6d7855c54e1e269275d7c504f8f62a0b7a5b3f18.
The commit 6d7855c54e1e ("sockfs: switch to ->free_inode()") made the deallocation of 'socket_alloc' to be done asynchronously using RCU, as same to 'sock.wq'. The change made 'socket_alloc' live longer than before. As a result, user programs intensively repeating allocations and deallocations of sockets could cause memory pressure on recent kernels. To avoid the problem, this commit reverts the change.
