Great work Eric! I have been unable to reproduce the KASAN warning
with this patch.

Reported-by: Daniel J Blueman <daniel@...ra.org>
Tested-by: Daniel J Blueman <daniel@...ra.org>

I do change the network queueing discipline and related at runtime [1]
which may be triggering this, though I did think I saw the KASAN
report only after resuming from suspend. rf(un)kill and other tweaking
may have been involved too.

Thanks,
  Dan
