sctp: protocol.c call rcu_barrier() on unload.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
On module unload call rcu_barrier(), this is needed as synchronize_rcu()
is not strong enough.  The kmem_cache_destroy() does invoke
synchronize_rcu() but it does not provide same protection.
