In this scenario path lookup under RCU is racing with the final
unlink in case of symlinks. As Linus puts it in his analysis:

  [...] We actually RCU-delay the inode freeing itself, but
  when we do the final iput(), the "evict()" function is called
  synchronously. Now, the simple fix would seem to just RCU-delay
  the kfree() of the symlink data in bpf_evict_inode(). Maybe
  that's the right thing to do. [...]

Al suggested to piggy-back on the ->destroy_inode() callback in
order to implement RCU deferral there which can then kfree() the
inode->i_link eventually right before putting inode back into
inode cache. By reusing free_inode_nonrcu() from there we can
avoid the need for our own inode cache and just reuse generic
one as we currently do.

And in-fact on top of all this we should just get rid of the
bpf_evict_inode() entirely. This means truncate_inode_pages_final()
and clear_inode() will then simply be called by the fs core via
evict(). Dropping the reference should really only be done when
inode is unhashed and nothing reachable anymore, so it's better
also moved into the final ->destroy_inode() callback.
