  - Perform queue list addition and work queueing atomically.

Otherwise we might potentially miss waiting for the re-armed task on
interface removal, leading to freeing packets with the re-armed tasks
trying to process them afterwards, therefore causing segmentation
faults.

It looks like this patch and the other two don't apply anymore. Can you please
resent them or mark them correctly in patchwork [1, 2, 3].

Thanks,
	Sven

Hi Sven,

Looks like I'm still having this issue from time to time, even on
the master branch. Will try to refresh and rephrase them later.
