it's using an zero-initialized spinlock. This is a side-effect of:

        dev_unicast_init(dev);

in alloc_netdev_mq() making use of dev->addr_list_lock.

The device has just been allocated freshly, it's not accessible
anywhere yet so no locking is needed at all - in fact it's wrong
to lock it here (the lock isnt initialized yet).

This bug was introduced via:

|     net: restore the original spinlock to protect unicast list
