From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org>

This patch addresses a v4.2-rc1 regression where backend driver
struct module unload immediately after ->free_device() has done
an internal call_rcu(), results in IRQ rcu_process_callbacks()
use-after-free paging OOPsen.

It adds a explicit synchronize_rcu() in target_backend_unregister()
to wait a full RCU grace period before releasing target_backend_ops
memory, and allowing TBO->module exit to proceed.

Also, go ahead and do the same for target_unregister_template()
to ensure se_deve_entry->rcu_head -> kfree_rcu() grace period has
passed, before allowing target_core_fabric_ops->owner module exit
to proceed.
