High chance that quick working around won't work. The error indicates,
that the structure is inconsistent and the oops might just move
somewhere else. You need to find out why it's expected to be unlinked
and isn't.

Usualy structures have to be unlinked when they are destroyed. If this
is the case, there is error in garbage-collecting the structure
(miscount).
