This complaint will happen when you call synchronize_rcu() while in some
context where it is illegal to block, for example, if irqs are disabled
or if a spinlock is held.  I don't see commit 7313bb8f, but perhaps
unregister_atmdevice_notifier() is holding a spinlock across the call
to atomic_notifier_chain_unregister()?
