.. hmm. I think you may be right. Even if we do move it up, we
probably shouldn't use it.

We don't even want SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, since we do the delayed RCU
free for other reasons anyway, so it would duplicate the RCU delaying
and cause problems. I forgot about that little complication.

We could have a separate "RCU_BARRIER_ON_DESTROY" thing, but that's
just silly too.

Maybe your patch is the right thing.
