I have read the rcubarrier.txt document and I got from that that an 
rcu_barrier() is needed when unloading a module. But maybe I got it wrong.

So the idea after disabling the jump lables all pending readers in
task_cls_classid() have left. THe same thing is done in the old code 
with the dynamic id part. With the difference that synchronize_rcu() is 
used.

Sure, I will keep this in mind.
