So a rcuref_put() operation triggers the warning because the reference
count is already dead, which means the rcuref_put() operation is
imbalanced.

Can you reproduce this without the Out of Tree module?

So this is one call chain triggering the issue...

That's definitely not a RCU problem. It's a simple refcount fail.
