Please feel free to try the patch shown below. Or the pair of patches
from Rik here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220218183114.2867528-2-riel@surriel.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220218183114.2867528-3-riel@surriel.com/
There is work ongoing to produce something better, but ongoing slowly.
Especially my part of that work.
Thanx, Paul

Subject: [PATCH RFC fs/namespace] Make kern_unmount() use
synchronize_rcu_expedited()

Experimental. Not for inclusion. Yet, anyway.
Freeing large numbers of namespaces in quick succession can result in
a bottleneck on the synchronize_rcu() invoked from kern_unmount().
This patch applies the synchronize_rcu_expedited() hammer to allow
further testing and fault isolation.
Hey, at least there was no need to change the comment! ;-)
