Module edac_core.ko uses call_rcu() callbacks in edac_device.c, edac_mc.c

and edac_pci.c.

They all use a wait_for_completion() scheme, but this scheme it not 100%
safe on multiple CPUs.  See the _rcu_barrier() implementation which
explains why extra precausion is needed.

The patch adds a comment about rcu_barrier() and as a precausion calls
rcu_barrier().  A maintainer needs to look at removing the
wait_for_completion code.
