[PATCH] module: avoid calling synchronize_rcu()

From: cgel . zte
Date: Tue Mar 01 2022 - 20:13:30 EST


From: Lv Ruyi (CGEL ZTE) <lv.ruyi@xxxxxxxxxx>

Kfree_rcu() usually results in even simpler code than does
synchronize_rcu() without synchronize_rcu()'s multi-millisecond
latency, so replace synchronize_rcu() with kfree_rcu().
