Looks like we tried to remove bysource hash twice (rdx is
LIST_POISON_2).

I wonder if this would explain it:

static void nf_nat_l4proto_clean(u8 l3proto, u8 l4proto)
{
[..]
/* Step 1 - remove from bysource hash */
clean.hash = true;
for_each_net(net)
nf_ct_iterate_cleanup(net, nf_nat_proto_clean, &clean);

A nfct->timer fires and a conntrack is free'd before step 2 memsets the
nat extension. In that case, we would try to delete nat->bysource
again?
