The culprit is most definitely frame #6.

Well, you are going to panic one way or the other; so I advise
you to compile your Netgraph module in the kernel itself. It
will save you *A LOT* of hassle that one has to go through
debugging KLDs (kmods).
Also, in order to study the problem, the source code is the key,
and without that, not much can be done.

The manual page has not been added to 4.x series.
