fs: prefer kfree_rcu() in fasync_remove_entry()
In 'fasync_remove_entry()', prefer 'kfree_rcu()' over 'call_rcu()' with dummy 'fasync_free_rcu()' callback. This is mostly intended in attempt to fix weird https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=6a64ad907e361e49e92d1c4c114128a1bda2ed7f, where kmemleak may consider 'fa' as unreferenced during RCU grace period. See https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20230930174657.800551-1-joel@joelfernandes.org as well. Comments are highly appreciated. Ever since ae65a521 ("mm/slab: document kfree() as allowed for kmem_cache_alloc() objects") kfree() can be used for both kmalloc() and kmem_cache_alloc() so this is no safe. Do not backport this to stable, please.
