xattr: add rcu_head and rhash_head to struct simple_xattr
In preparation for converting simple_xattrs from rbtree to rhashtable,
add rhash_head and rcu_head members to struct simple_xattr. The
rhashtable implementation will use rhash_head for hash table linkage
and RCU-based lockless reads, requiring that replaced or removed xattr
entries be freed via call_rcu() rather than immediately.
Add simple_xattr_free_rcu() which schedules RCU-deferred freeing of an
xattr entry. This will be used by callers of simple_xattr_set() once
they switch to the rhashtable-based xattr store.
No functional changes.
