Hmm, I wonder because the workqueue is running __init functions, could it
possibly be that it didn't finish before the end of boot, where it frees
all the functions? It shouldn't do that because there's code to make sure
it's done before it continues further.
But just in case something isn't working as planned, you could try this
patch to see if the bug goes away.
