RCU alone won't help because if some object is queued for async
crypto, we left the RCU protected aera. I think padata_do_serial
needs to do RCU and should free 'parallel_data' if the flag
PADATA_RESET is set and the refcount goes to zero. padata_replace
should do the same then.

Why not just
pd = rcu_dereference_bh(padata->pd);
