Yes. Generally speaking, showing backtrace of call_rcu()
or schedule_work(0 etc. is very helpful, we are more interested
in who calls call_rcu() than what that RCU callback does.

BTW, yesterday I asked syzbot to test this:
https://github.com/congwang/linux/commit/b7815584cf1c0bbb79e8f6fe3e4b66ba10375560
I still don't get any result.

For this specific bug, we should hold a refcnt in dev->qdisc, I don't
even see how call_rcu() could be invoked, unless of course we mess
up with qdisc refcnt.
