locking/percpu-rwsem: Make percpu_free_rwsem() after kzalloc() safe

Browse Source 
This is the temporary ugly hack which will be reverted later. We only
need it to ensure that the next patch will not break "change sb_writers
to use percpu_rw_semaphore" patches routed via the VFS tree.

The alloc_super()->destroy_super() error path assumes that it is safe
to call percpu_free_rwsem() after kzalloc() without percpu_init_rwsem(),
so let's not disappoint it.
