I don't have a debug build, so maybe it's something specific to gdb
actually seeing type information and then being confused..

Can you do "x/10i schedule+0x45" because that definitely works for me.
But I literally detest DBUG_INFO builds, because it's useless crap.
99% of everything I debug is from people reporting problems on their
kernels, so it's not like my local debug info would match that anyway.

Anyway, if it's a type information thing due to DEBUG_INFO that
confuses gdb and makes it think that the "+0x45" part doesn't make
sense, you may need to add a cast to get gdb to ignore the type
information. IOW, does

  list (void *)schedule + 0x45

work for you?

I happen to have gdb-7.6.50 here that I tested with, but I've used
"symbol+offset" forever afaik, so it's definitely not something new.
