[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 07/16] securityfs: fix use-after-free on symlink traversal

From: Al Viro <viro at zeniv.linux.org.uk>

[ Upstream commit 46c874419652bbefdfed17420fd6e88d8a31d9ec ]

symlink body shouldn't be freed without an RCU delay.  Switch securityfs
to ->destroy_inode() and use of call_rcu(); free both the inode and symlink
body in the callback.
