This makes much sense if this is use-after-free memory access which was
manifested differently due to reallocated after released.

mutex_lock(&hv->hv_lock);
eventfd = idr_remove(&hv->conn_to_evt, conn_id); // <= Memory block containing hv->hv_lock was released by other thread and reallocated by other thread.
mutex_unlock(&hv->hv_lock); // <= Hence, __owner_task(owner) != current at this point.
