eventfs: Free all of the eventfs_inode after RCU

Browse Source 
The freeing of eventfs_inode via a kfree_rcu() callback. But the content
of the eventfs_inode was being freed after the last kref. This is
dangerous, as changes are being made that can access the content of an
eventfs_inode from an RCU loop.

Instead of using kfree_rcu() use call_rcu() that calls a function to do
all the freeing of the eventfs_inode after a RCU grace period has expired.
