net/sunrpc Bug ? Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 on kernel 5.2.37

Hi Forks,

On the kernel version 5.2.37 or a bit earlier, running pressure
testing with module insert & remove, actually the inserted module is
not special and could be anyone.
After dozens of testing, there will be throw below call trace and the
system hung.

Testing script for insert & remove module like below:
for each in {1..100} ; do echo "$each" ; insmod
openvswitch.ko ; rmmod openvswitch.ko ; usleep 100000 ; done
The target machine is: arm64, cortex a53.

Disassembled the line " __wake_up_common_lock+0x98/0xe0 ", it located
the code "include/linux/spinlock.h" , it should be using the NULL
pointer "lock->rlock "

static __always_inline void spin_unlock_irqrestore(spinlock_t *lock,
unsigned long flags)
{
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&lock->rlock, flags);

Did you ever see this issue or have a fix for this based on kernel
5.2.37 version?
