No, it's not synchronize_rcu().  It's a bug dealt with in vfs.git #fixes,
triggering the struct mount leak in mount_subtree(), which is used
by btrfs.  Immediately prior to vfat in their list...

(oh, and AFAICS "more" in the above had been a mismerge in -next, so
it might really be all there is to it)

Folks, see if vfs.git #fixes solves that one.
