FTR, with mptcp self-tests we hit a few kmemleak false positive on RCU
freed pointers, that where addressed by to this patch:

commit 5f98fd034ca6fd1ab8c91a3488968a0e9caaabf6
Author: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@xxxxxxx>
Date:   Sat Sep 30 17:46:56 2023 +0000

    rcu: kmemleak: Ignore kmemleak false positives when RCU-freeing objects

I'm wondering if this is hitting something similar? Possibly due to
lazy RCU callbacks invoked after MSECS_MIN_AGE???

Cheers,

Paolo
