I hope you can confirm it helps, because the commit added two tests and I've
only skipped one of them, as it's the one using kfree_rcu(), which is
suspected. But the other is responsible for the (now suppressed)
kmem_cache_destroy() warning, and maybe I'm missing something and it was
actually that one causing the lockups.

Since you mentioned the boot lockups happened on some x86_64 too, do you
have a .config of the lockup case? I've tried tweaking some rcu options but
still nothing.

Thanks!
