[ Upstream commit a7e8de822e0b1979f08767c751f6c8a9c1d4ad86 ]

A bug can be triggered by following command

$ modprobe nd_pmem && modprobe -r nd_pmem

[ 10.060014] BUG dax_cache (Not tainted): Objects remaining in dax_cache on __kmem_cache_shutdown()
[ 10.060938] Slab 0x0000000085b729ac objects=9 used=1 fp=0x000000004f5ae469 flags=0x200000000010200(slab|head|node)
[ 10.062433] Call Trace:

[ 10.064058] __x64_sys_delete_module+0x265/0x300

This is caused by dax_fs_exit() not flushing inodes before destroy cache.
To fix this issue, call rcu_barrier() before destroy cache.
