They do not belong together. The second line is just another call to
the same print_modules() done from:
arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack_64.c :: show_regs()

While we already called print_modules() a few cycles earlier from:
kernel/watchdog :: watchdog_timer_fn()

Hmm, it does not trigger your pattern. I tried adding an rmmod in that
loop, but that crashes after a few seconds. Some modules are just not
meant to be removed. :)

I forced the watchdog to trigger by setting the timeout to 1s, but all
looks still fine:

Could it possibly be that we get some sort of corruption somewhere
else while running trinity and load modules?
