OK, then dead task not releasing the lock is excluded.

One more assumption: someone corrupted memory around rtnl_mutex and it looks like locked.
(I track lockdep "(rtnl_mutex){+.+.}" prints in initial message as "nobody owns rtnl_mutex").
There may help a crash dump of the VM.

Also, there may be a locking code BUG, but this seems the least probable for me.
