Some BPF code that needs to process and free a list. As noted above, this is a patch rather than something that is already in mainline. Not surprising, though, given call_rcu() invocations in similar contexts. Yes, we can perhaps rework all current and future callers to avoid invoking both call_rcu() and kfree_rcu() from raw atomic context, but the required change to permit this is quite a bit simpler.
