Looks like it got all resolved by using the latest liburcu patch set with full
TSAN support. I haven't realized that our CI still runs with whatever liburcu
Debian bullseye have. Sorry for the confusion.

And I can no longer reproduce this locally.

FTR here are some numbers from my local system (13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) 
i9-13900K)
running TSAN-enabled patched userspace-rcu[1], libuv 1.45.0 and OpenSSL 3.0.8:

gcc-13 baseline

rpz:            passed in 198.71s (0:03:18)
rpzrecurse:     passed in 310.62s (0:05:10)
rrsetorder:     passed in 200.40s (0:03:20)

gcc-13 TSAN

rpz:            passed in 305.64s (0:05:05)
rpzrecurse:     passed in 427.73s (0:07:07)
rrsetorder:     passed in 260.65s (0:04:20)

clang-16 TSAN

rpz:            passed in 290.05s (0:04:50)
rpzrecurse:     passed in 468.53s (0:07:48)
rrsetorder:     passed in 258.97s (0:04:18)

This looks quite reasonable to me.
