This should not happen.  Which kernel version are you using?

There used to be a use-after-free on concurrent DPC and hot-removal.
It was fixed by 11a1f4bc4736, which went into v6.11 and was subsequently
ported all the way back to v5.10-stable.

I suspect you may be using a kernel which lacks that fix.

Thanks,
