Now I do, in the context you write, I see inet6_init()'s fail path is 
broken. The two backtraces show:
[    2.381371][    T1]  ip6_mr_cleanup+0x43/0x50
[    2.382321][    T1]  inet6_init+0x365/0x3d0

and

[    2.420857][    T1]  proto_unregister+0x93/0x100
[    2.420857][    T1]  inet6_init+0x3a2/0x3d0

I am looking what exactly, but this is rather for netdev@
