The issue is not reproducible. Haven't seen in over 6 months. And the module is working just fine after the log.
Is there a way I can get more info on this e.g. more stacktrace that will end up in module's work function (if this occurs again)?

They are,
1952 WARN_ON_ONCE(!(worker->flags & (WORKER_UNBOUND | WORKER_REBIND)) &&
1953 raw_smp_processor_id() != gcwq->cpu);
But I am not sure what they signify :(
