fs: synchronize_rcu when unregister_filesystem success not failure

Browse Source 
While checking unregister_filesystem for saftey vs extra calls for
"ext4: register ext2 and ext3 alias after ext4" I realized that
the synchronize_rcu() was called on the error path but not on
the success path.

[ This probably won't really make a difference since commit d863b50ab013
  ("vfs: call rcu_barrier after ->kill_sb()"), but it's the right thing
  to do.  - Linus ]
