cpu0 cpu1
j1939_sk_bind(socket0, ndev0, ...)
j1939_netdev_start
j1939_sk_bind(socket1, ndev0, ...)
j1939_netdev_start
j1939_priv_set
j1939_priv_get_by_ndev_locked
j1939_jsk_add
.....
j1939_netdev_stop
kref_put_lock(&priv->rx_kref, ...)
kref_get(&priv->rx_kref, ...)
REFCOUNT_WARN("addition on 0;...")

====================================================
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 20874 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0x169/0x1e0
RIP: 0010:refcount_warn_saturate+0x169/0x1e0
Call Trace:

? security_socket_bind+0x83/0xb0

The rx_kref's kref_get() and kref_put() should use j1939_netdev_lock to
protect.
