Hi
I was wondering why namespace_unlock calls synchronize_rcu and not 
synchronize_rcu_expedited

Testing shows there is about 20-25 ms saved during an unmount when using 
synchronize_rcu_expedited

is there a downside to such a change?

Please let me know.
I would really appreciate any help understanding any pitfalls.
