Arthur: can you double-check if you load any module with --force ?
This could cause a module header layout mismatch, which can be an
issue with the changes done by the identified commit: the module
header layout changes there.

Also, I'm attaching a small patch which serializes both updates and
reads of the module rbree. Can you try it out ? If the problem
still shows with the spinlocks in place, that would mean the issue
is *not* a race between latched rbtree updates and traversals.

Thanks!

Mathieu
