The percpu refcount protects this structure, and we can have an atomic
switch in progress when exiting. This makes it unsafe to just free the
struct normally, and can trigger the following KASAN warning:

Fix this by punting the final exit and free of the struct to RCU, then
we know that it's safe to do so. Jann suggested the approach of using a
double rcu callback to achieve this. It's important that we do a nested
call_rcu() callback, as otherwise the free could be ordered before the
atomic switch, even if the latter was already queued.
