inet: frag: make sure forced eviction removes all frags
Quoting Alexander Aring: While fragmentation and unloading of 6lowpan module I got this kernel Oops after few seconds: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f88bbc30 [..] Modules linked in: ipv6 [last unloaded: 6lowpan] Call Trace: [<c012af4c>] ? call_timer_fn+0x54/0xb3 [<c012aef8>] ? process_timeout+0xa/0xa [<c012b66b>] run_timer_softirq+0x140/0x15f Problem is that incomplete frags are still around after unload; when their frag expire timer fires, we get crash. When a netns is removed (also done when unloading module), inet_frag calls the evictor with 'force' argument to purge remaining frags. The evictor loop terminates when accounted memory ('work') drops to 0 or the lru-list becomes empty. However, the mem accounting is done via percpu counters and may not be accurate, i.e. loop may terminate prematurely. Alter evictor to only stop once the lru list is empty when force is requested.
