Thanks for the reporting.
We've seen very similar stack trace due to out of order cgroup destroy.
But it was fixed in
commit e10360f815ca ("bpf: cgroup: prevent out-of-order release of cgroup bpf")
Sounds like it wasn't fixed completely?
If somebody can reproduce could you please
revert both the fix e10360f815ca and offending
commit 4bfc0bb2c60e ("bpf: decouple the lifetime of cgroup_bpf from
cgroup itself")
and see whether it reproduces ?
It will help us narrow down the problem.

Thanks
