The hsr device is a software device. Its
net_device_ops::ndo_start_xmit() routine will process the packet and
then pass the resulting skb to dev_queue_xmit().
During processing, hsr acquires a lock with spin_lock_bh()
(hsr_add_node()) which needs to be promoted to the _irq() suffix in
order to avoid a potential deadlock.
Then there are the warnings in dev_queue_xmit() (due to
local_bh_disable() with disabled interrupts) left.
Instead trying to address those (there is qdisc and…) for netpoll sake,
just disable netpoll on hsr.
Disable netpoll on hsr and replace the _irqsave() locking with _bh().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
