Oddly enough, with CONFIG_SLUB+slub_debug, I get the same crypto panic I
got with CONFIG_SLOB.  The trapping instruction is:

  vmovdqa 0x140(%rdi),%xmm0
  
I'll try to bisect it tomorrow.  It at least goes back to v4.10.  I'm
not really sure whether this panic is related to SLUB or SLOB at all.
(Though the original panic reported upthread by the kernel test robot
*does* look SLOB related.)
