Hi Konrad,
     We should have root-caused this bug, which is caused by 
for_each_pci_root_bus().
Current implementation doesn't support root bus deletion when walking 
PCI root
buses by for_each_pci_root_bus(). The reference counter 
(pci_bus->dev.knode_class.n_ref)
becomes zero after returning from pci_remove_root_bus(), so it triggers 
kref warnings
and double-free of klist_node object when we call 
pci_get_next_root_bus() to get the
next PCI root bus.
     So we will first revert to  list_for_each_entry_safe(bus, temp, 
&pci_root_buses, node)
and solve this issue in next version of for_each_pci_root_bus().

Regards!
Gerry
