commit a053fb7e512c77f0742bceb578b10025256e1911 upstream.

To free fences, call_rcu() is used, which calls amd_sched_fence_free()
after a grace period. During teardown, there is no guarantee all
callbacks have finished, so sched_fence_slab may be destroyed before
all fences have been freed. If we are lucky, this results in some slab
warnings, if not, we get a crash in one of rcu threads because callback
is called after amdgpu has already been unloaded.

Fix it with a rcu_barrier().
