Define sops->free_inode() to prevent use-after-free during lookup
On Linux, when doing path lookup with LOOKUP_RCU, dentry and inode can
be dereferenced without refcounts and locks. For this reason, dentry and
inode must only be freed after RCU grace period.

However, zfs currently frees inode in zfs_inode_destroy synchronously
and we can't use GPL-only call_rcu() in zfs directly. Fortunately, on
Linux 5.2 and after, if we define sops->free_inode(), the kernel will do
call_rcu() for us.

This issue may be triggered more easily with init_on_free=1 boot
parameter:
