Changbin Du c550f0055c modules: wait do_free_init correctly
[ Upstream commit 8f8cd6c0a4 ]

The synchronization here is to ensure the ordering of freeing of a module
init so that it happens before W+X checking.  It is worth noting it is not
that the freeing was not happening, it is just that our sanity checkers
raced against the permission checkers which assume init memory is already
gone.

Commit 1a7b7d9220 ("modules: Use vmalloc special flag") moved calling
do_free_init() into a global workqueue instead of relying on it being
called through call_rcu(..., do_free_init), which used to allowed us call
do_free_init() asynchronously after the end of a subsequent grace period.
The move to a global workqueue broke the gaurantees for code which needed
to be sure the do_free_init() would complete with rcu_barrier().  To fix
this callers which used to rely on rcu_barrier() must now instead use
flush_work(&init_free_wq).

Without this fix, we still could encounter false positive reports in W+X
checking since the rcu_barrier() here can not ensure the ordering now.

Even worse, the rcu_barrier() can introduce significant delay.  Eric
Chanudet reported that the rcu_barrier introduces ~0.1s delay on a
PREEMPT_RT kernel.

  [    0.291444] Freeing unused kernel memory: 5568K
  [    0.402442] Run /sbin/init as init process

With this fix, the above delay can be eliminated.
