vfs: add __destroy_inode

backport of upstream commit 2e00c97e2c1d2ffc9e26252ca26b237678b0b772

When we want to tear down an inode that lost the add to the cache race
in XFS we must not call into ->destroy_inode because that would delete
the inode that won the race from the inode cache radix tree.

This patch provides the __destroy_inode helper needed to fix this,
the actual fix will be in th next patch.  As XFS was the only reason
destroy_inode was exported we shift the export to the new __destroy_inode.
