We often see crashes in work-queue processing when deleting
lots of wifi station interfaces. I'm guessing that there is probably
a work item that was not properly un-registered before deleting

maybe they are to blame, but in case anyone has any suggestions
for places to look, please let me know.
Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS and CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_WORK :)
That did not catch anything.
