This is doing kfree() on a struct net_device?? Huh?
You should have put this in your own struct and used container_of not
co-oped netdev_priv, then free your own struct.
It is a bit weird to see a xa_destroy like this, how did things get ot
the point that no concurrent thread can see the xarray but there is
still stuff stored in it?
And it is weird this is storing two different types in it too, with no
refcounting..
We do rework this stuff in the other patch series.

If we fix it up in the for-next series, what should we do about stable?
What does stable matter? WHy can it not just take the same patches that
end up in Linus's tree?
Guess it's more of a general question. What is the best way to handle
things if the code changes drastically in Linus' tree, to the point
where the bug no longer exists there, but does in stable?
