Deleting list entry within hlist_for_each_entry_safe is not safe unless
next pointer (tmp) is protected too. It's not, because once hash_lock
is released, cache_clean may delete the entry that tmp points to. Then
cache_purge can walk to a deleted entry and tries to double free it.

Fix this bug by holding only the deleted entry's reference.

If review/testing shows you need to respin this patch, I note that "tmp" is
now unused and should be removed. I've pulled v3 into my testing branch and
made that minor change. Thanks!

Thanks a lot, Chuck!

If it needs further changes by me, I'll fix the unused 'tmp' along with them.

BTW, if you and Neil think it's proper to add Signed-off-by Neil too later,
please do, since the bug fix owes to Neil's idea :-)

Actually a "Suggested-by:" tag is appropriate for attribution. I'll add:

Suggested-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

to what I have in my tree.
