In this one, you see the free happens in some infiniband code.  Looking
at ipoib_dev_priv, and going to the member at net_device+ipoib_dev_priv,
we get this at 5320:

        struct delayed_work        neigh_reap_task;

5376-5320=56, which doesn't quite put us at the timer_list. Close but no
cigar?
