Devlink keeps its own reference to every reporter in a list and inits refcount to 1 upon reporter's creation. Existing destructor waits to free the memory indefinitely using msleep() until all references except devlink's own are put. Rework this mechanism by moving memory free routine to a separate function, which is called when the last reporter reference is put. Besides, it allows to call __devlink_health_reporter_destroy() while locked on a reporters list mutex in symmetry to __devlink_health_reporter_create(), which is required in follow-up patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
