Hmmm... I think it could be from rescuer holding reference on the pwq.
Both cases have WQ_MEM_RECLAIM and it could be that rescuer was still
in flight (even without work items pending) when the sanity checks
were done.  The following patch moves the sanity checks after rescuer
destruction.  Dmitry, Jiri, can you please see whether the warning
goes away with this patch?

Thanks.
