cxl: Use call_rcu to reduce latency when releasing the afu fd

The afu fd release path was identified as a significant bottleneck in
the overall performance of cxl. While an optimal AFU design would
minimise the need to close & reopen the AFU fd, it is not always
practical to avoid.

The bottleneck seems to be down to the call to synchronize_rcu(), which
will block until every other thread is guaranteed to be out of an RCU
critical section. Replace it with call_rcu() to free the context
structures later so we can return to the application sooner.

This reduces the time spent in the fd release path from 13356 usec to
13.3 usec - about a 100x speed up.
