cfq-iosched: fix RCU race in the cfq io_context destructor handling
put_io_context() drops the RCU read lock before calling into cfq_dtor(), however we need to hold off freeing there before grabbing and dereferencing the first object on the list. So extend the rcu_read_lock() scope to cover the calling of cfq_dtor(), and optimize cfq_free_io_context() to use a new variant for call_for_each_cic() that assumes the RCU read lock is already held.
