OK, so FWIW, I checked that now, and I have e.g. CONFIG_WQ_WATCHDOG
enabled, which makes a deferrable timer:

static void wq_watchdog_init(void)
{
timer_setup(&wq_watchdog_timer, wq_watchdog_timer_fn, TIMER_DEFERRABLE);


but I think a bunch of other (networking) things too that end up using a
TIMER_DEFERRABLE timer, via workqueues.

But maybe this would also happen if it was used just a single time,
since the timer would run & go away, leaving base->next_expiry never to
change again? But the WQ watchdog and also neigh_managed_work() are
periodic.
