CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 56 Comm: kworker/u8:4 Not tainted 6.12.0-rc2-syzkaller-00050-g5b7c893ed5ed #0
Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 09/13/2024
Workqueue: events_unbound kfree_rcu_monitor
<snip>

kfree_rcu_monitor() rearms the work if a "krcp" has to be still
offloaded and this is done without holding krcp->lock, whereas
the kvfree_call_rcu() holds it.

Fix it by acquiring the "krcp->lock" for kfree_rcu_monitor() so
both functions do not race anymore.
