sysctl,rcu: Convert call_rcu(free_head) to kfree
The RCU callback free_head just calls kfree(), so we can use kfree_rcu() instead of call_rcu(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
