target: Perform RCU callback barrier before backend/fabric unload
This patch addresses a v4.2-rc1 regression where backend driver
module unload happening immediately after TBO->free_device()
does internal call_rcu(), will currently result in IRQ context
rcu_process_callbacks() use-after-free paging OOPsen.

It adds the missing rcu_barrier() in target_backend_unregister()
to perform an explicit RCU barrier waiting for all RCU callbacks
to complete before releasing target_backend_ops memory, and
allowing TBO->module exit to proceed.

Also, do the same for fabric drivers in target_unregister_template()
to ensure se_deve_entry->rcu_head -> kfree_rcu() callbacks have
completed, before allowing target_core_fabric_ops->owner module
exit to proceed.
