No, because it's in the middle of the work. The workqueue bug triggers
when the work has finished.

So cleanup_up() net does

   ....
   synchronize_rcu();   <- might sleep. So up to here it should be fine.

   list_for_each_entry_continue_reverse(ops, &pernet_list, list)
   	ops_exit_list(ops, &net_exit_list);

ops_exit_list() is called for each ops which then either invokes
ops->exit() or ops->exit_batch().

So one of those callbacks fails to reenable BH, so adding a check after
each invocation of ops->exit() and ops->exit_batch() for
!local_bh_disabled() should be able to identify the buggy callback.

Thanks,
