Some network modules have static structures of "i-node" datas, and
iput()ing those will produce these warnings, although they are harmless.
Where did these occur ? At rmmod of IPv6 ? Somewhere else ?
(I have patches at home for IPv4 and IPv6 modularization cleanup, but
that is still incomplete -- you can safely insmod all, but rmmoding
ipv4 may cause crash..)
