We recently got a stack by syzkaller like this:

In softirq context, we call rcu callback function delete_partition_rcu_cb(),
which may allocate memory by kzalloc with GFP_KERNEL flag. If the
allocation cannot be satisfied, it may sleep. However, That is not allowed
in softirq contex.

Although we found this problem on linux 4.4, the latest kernel version
seems to have this problem as well. And it is very similar to the
previous one:
	https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/9/391

Fix it by using RCU workqueue, which allows sleep.
