Backporting kfree_rcu() in compat does not work as
struct rcu_head->func is always interpreted as a pointer in older
kernel versions, but when using kfree_rcu() it is set to an offset.
rcu_head->func is used in some functions in the kernel not backported
by compat-wireless.

This patch is based on the patch posted by Ignacy Gawedzki <i@lri.fr>
on the mailing list.
