While testing a hotfix'ed RHEL 8.4 kernel, we observed the following backtrace when running the metal4K iso-install scenario:

Investigation into the trace showed previous evidence of it reported upstream at https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/619#issuecomment-683925234

It's believed that backporting https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-config/pull/1357 to RHCOS 4.9 would fix the race condition.
