Ahh, you're right! Specifically,

The write on line 945 refers to the side of the timer base, not the
peer's timer_list being queued. So indeed, the wireguard netdev is still
alive at this point, but it's being queued to a timer in a different
netdev that's already been freed (whether watchdog or otherwise in some
privdata). So, IOW, not a wireguard bug, right?
