To mirror the SRCU lock held in eventfs_iterate() when iterating over
eventfs inodes, use call_srcu() to free them too.

This was accidentally(?) degraded to RCU in commit 43aa6f97c2d0
("eventfs: Get rid of dentry pointers without refcounts").

Yeah, I missed that. Linus cleaned up the code code quite a bit, but
missed the subtleties of the RCU clean ups. I should have caught that
in my review.

Thanks for sending this.
