vt: synchronize_rcu() under spinlock is not nice...
vcs_poll_data_free() calls unregister_vt_notifier(), which calls atomic_notifier_chain_unregister(), which calls synchronize_rcu(). Do it *after* we'd dropped ->f_lock. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org (all kernels since 2.6.37) Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
