Seems that there's a `struct work_struct' which is still registered but its
memory has been freed.  It's likely that CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC caught this.

Either that, or some module got unloaded without flushing its workqueue.

Are you using any modules which do schedule_work()?

Have you added any code which does schedule_work()?
