The below diff where you reduce refcount before RCU grace period, also makes the
test pass.

If you are Ok with it, I can roll it into a patch with your Author tag and my
Tested-by. Let me know what you prefer?

Also, looking through the patch, I don't see any issue. One thing is
netdev_put() now happens before a grace period, instead of after. But I don't
think that's an issue.

thanks!
