Yufen Yu f3631a8b2f block: use rcu_work instead of call_rcu to avoid sleep in softirq 
commit 94a2c3a32b upstream.

We recently got a stack by syzkaller like this:

In softirq context, we call rcu callback function delete_partition_rcu_cb(),
which may allocate memory by kzalloc with GFP_KERNEL flag. If the
allocation cannot be satisfied, it may sleep. However, That is not allowed
in softirq contex.

Although we found this problem on linux 4.4, the latest kernel version
seems to have this problem as well. And it is very similar to the
previous one:

Fix it by using RCU workqueue, which allows sleep.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
