Note that the syzkaller report mentioned:

alloc_netdev_mqs+0x89/0xf30 net/core/dev.c:10626
 usbnet_probe+0x196/0x2770 drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:1698
 usb_probe_interface+0x5c4/0xb00 drivers/usb/core/driver.c:396
 really_probe+0x294/0xc30 drivers/base/dd.c:658
 __driver_probe_device+0x1a2/0x3d0 drivers/base/dd.c:800
 driver_probe_device+0x50/0x420 drivers/base/dd.c:830
 __device_attach_driver+0x2d3/0x520 drivers/base/dd.c:958

So maybe an usbnet driver has a timer_list in its priv_data.
