fs: call fsnotify_sb_delete after evict_inodes
When a filesystem is unmounted, we currently call fsnotify_sb_delete() before evict_inodes(), which means that fsnotify_unmount_inodes() must iterate over all inodes on the superblock looking for any inodes with watches. This is inefficient and can lead to livelocks as it iterates over many unwatched inodes. At this point, SB_ACTIVE is gone and dropping refcount to zero kicks the inode out out immediately, so anything processed by fsnotify_sb_delete / fsnotify_unmount_inodes gets evicted in that loop. After that, the call to evict_inodes will evict everything else with a zero refcount. This should speed things up overall, and avoid livelocks in fsnotify_unmount_inodes().
