Yup, it looks like that patch might be the culprit.

commit dc2b48475a0a36f8b3bbb2da60d3a006dc5c2c84

    netdev: Move queue_lock into struct netdev_queue.

<adds cc, runs away>

(thanks for doing all this stuff, btw - it directly subtracts from the
amount of time I need to spend doing next -mm.  Even better: it gives
others time to fix the things which you've found so next -mm
(mid-week?) will have lower latency and me-hassle).

(otoh, many of these problems are also in linux-next.  Who's testing
that?  Hopefully it's a weekend*summer thing.)
