In the future could you please trim irrelevant stuff from dumps like this?

Thanks for submitting a patch, the issue makes sense.

Question: is the rtnl_mutex actually held in the problematic case though?
The netdev_run_todo() call path is:

	__rtnl_unlock();						<- unlocks

	/* Wait for rcu callbacks to finish before next phase */
	if (!list_empty(&list))
		rcu_barrier();

	list_for_each_entry_safe(dev, tmp, &list, todo_list) {
		if (unlikely(dev->reg_state != NETREG_UNREGISTERING)) {
			netdev_WARN(dev, "run_todo but not unregistering\n");
			list_del(&dev->todo_list);
			continue;
		}

		WRITE_ONCE(dev->reg_state, NETREG_UNREGISTERED);
		linkwatch_sync_dev(dev);				<- asserts
	}

And on the same note: does linkwatch not have a chance to run also,
concurrently with us, in this timeframe? Could we not catch the
dev->reg_state in NETREG_UNREGISTERING?
