Yes, this could in theory race with blk_ksm_put_slot (e.g. if it's
called while there's still IO in flight/IO that just finished) - But
it's currently only called by fscrypt when a key is being destroyed,
which only happens after all the inodes using that key are evicted, and
no data is in flight, so when this function is called, slot->slot_refs
will be 0. In particular, this function should only be called when the
key isn't being used for IO anymore. I'll add a WARN_ON_ONCE and also
make the assumption clearer. We could also instead make this wait for
the slot_refs to become 0 and then evict the key instead of just
returning -EBUSY as it does now, but I'm not sure if it's really what
we want to do/worth doing right now...
