Hi Greg, We forgot to mark 59c39840f5abf4a71e1 for -stable, please apply. It should apply cleanly all the way back to v3.0.

But nothing ensures that the old notifier is not longer queued in the work list. If it is queued this results in a use after free and possibly in work list corruption. Ensure that the work is canceled before the reference is dropped.
