This patch handles freeing of lockspace resources asynchronously besides the release_lockspace() context. The release_lockspace() context is sometimes called in a time critical context, e.g. umount syscall. Most every user space init system will timeout if it takes too long. To reduce the potential waiting time we deregister in release_lockspace() the lockspace from the DLM subsystem and do the actual releasing of lockspace resource in a worker of a workqueue following recommendation of: https://lore.kernel.org/all/49925af7-78a8-a3dd-bce6-cfc02e1a9236@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp/T/#u as flushing of system workqueues are not allowed. The most time to release the DLM resources are spent to release the data structures "ls->ls_lkbxa" and "ls->ls_rsbtbl" as they iterate over each entries and those data structures can contain millions of entries. This patch handles for now only freeing of those data structures as those operations are the most reason why release_lockspace() blocking of being returned.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
