New one on me as well. Is this reproducible? If so, does it happen
when CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=n? (Given the call to call_rcu_nocb_enqueue(),
I expect that you built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y.) Can't say that I
see how call_rcu_nocb_enqueue() would have caused this, but...

Well, I supposed that if RCU's callback lists got corrupted, this
(and much else besides) could in fact happen. Does your build have
CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y? If not, could you please try it?

Thanx, Paul
