Your timer had the pleasure of getting queued _after_ a dead watchdog
timer, no? IOW it tries to update the ->next pointer of a queued
watchdog timer. We should probably do:

diff --git a/net/core/dev.c b/net/core/dev.c
index 374d38fb8b9d..f3ed20ebcf5a 100644
--- a/net/core/dev.c
+++ b/net/core/dev.c
@@ -10389,6 +10389,8 @@ void netdev_run_todo(void)
                WARN_ON(rcu_access_pointer(dev->ip_ptr));
                WARN_ON(rcu_access_pointer(dev->ip6_ptr));
 
+               WARN_ON(timer_shutdown_sync(&dev->watchdog_timer));

                if (dev->priv_destructor)
                        dev->priv_destructor(dev);
                if (dev->needs_free_netdev)

to catch how that watchdog_timer is getting queued. Would that make
sense, Eric?
