The patch causing the problem is commit 27608f359da88eaf ("fasync: Fix deadlock
between task-context and interrupt-context kill_fasync()"), see bisect log
below.

Kernel log message is as follows.

PDC_CHASSIS: Fault (1), CHASSIS  0
Backtrace:
 [<10267738>] dput.part.5+0x1dc/0x1f0
 [<1026776c>] dput+0x20/0x30
 [<1024f79c>] __fput+0x14c/0x230
 [<1024f8e4>] ____fput+0x18/0x28
 [<1019abe0>] task_work_run+0xa4/0xd8
 [<1016d044>] do_notify_resume+0x7c/0x84
 [<1015c258>] syscall_do_signal+0x50/0x9c

The problem only affects v4.14.60-rc1; all other stable releases and release
candidates are fine.
