super: ensure valid info
For keyed filesystems that recycle superblocks based on s_fs_info or information contained therein s_fs_info must be kept as long as the superblock is on the filesystem type super list. This isn't guaranteed as s_fs_info will be freed latest in sb->kill_sb(). The fix is simply to perform notification and list removal in kill_anon_super(). Any filesystem needs to free s_fs_info after they call the kill_*() helpers. If they don't they risk use-after-free right now so fixing it here is guaranteed that s_fs_info remain valid. For block backed filesystems notifying in pass sb->kill_sb() in deactivate_locked_super() remains unproblematic and is required because multiple other block devices can be shut down after kill_block_super() has been called from a filesystem's sb->kill_sb() handler. For example, ext4 and xfs close additional devices. Block based filesystems don't depend on s_fs_info (btrfs does use s_fs_info but also uses kill_anon_super() and not kill_block_super().). Sorry for that braino. Goal should be to unify this behavior during this cycle obviously. But let's please do a simple bugfix now.
