It was introduced because btrfs used to do blkdev_put in a deferred
work, now that btrfs has blkdev_put in place, this rcu_barrier can be
removed.
modprobe -r btrfs will do btrfs_cleanup_fs_uuids(), where it cleanup
every %fs_devices on the list, but when we do btrfs_close_devices(), we
have replaced the devices on the list with dummy ones which only have
the same name and uuid, so modprobe -r btrfs will free those instead of
what we were using, this change won't cause a problem for it.
