Congratulations! You're not the first one to get hit by this, but
you are probably the first one to get a meaningful stacktrace! \o/

Can you try to revert

   [PATCH 4.1 157/159] inet: fix races with reqsk timers

and see how that works for you? I'll do the same on my end. So far the
only thing I ever could gleam was an rcu stall after cpuidle_enter(),
but never anything regarding the timer - though it was definitely
related to NIC activity after idle.

cheers
