The final attempt at trying to sort this may be to try allocating
a struct at release time to contain a pointer to the kobject and
the delayed work queue, and maybe a stack trace. The thing I worry
about is whether we can allocate memory at that point. GFP_ATOMIC
maybe? Should be a small enough structure that it shouldn't eat
too much into the reserved pools.

I won't be coding it up tonight though!
