It was introduced because btrfs used to do blkdev_put in a deferred
work, now that btrfs has put blkdev in place, this rcu_barrier can be
removed.

  On the 2nd thought, modprobe -r btrfs would still need rcu_barrier(), 
some where else outside of umount context ?

Thanks, Anand

Thanks a lot for the comments.

modprobe -r btrfs will do btrfs_cleanup_fs_uuids(), where it cleanup
every %fs_devices on the list, but when we do btrfs_close_devices(), we
have replaced the devices on the list with dummy ones which only have
the same name and uuid, so modprobe -r btrfs will free those instead
of what we were using, this change won't cause a problem for it.

Thanks,
