This is still happening on mainline, and I think this bisection result is
probably correct.  syzbot did start hitting something different at the very end
of the bisection ("WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9153 at kernel/locking/lockdep.c:747")
but that seems to be just because your commit had a lot of bugs in it, which had
to be fixed by later commits.  In particular, the WARNING seems to have been
fixed by commit 28d49e282665e ("locking/lockdep: Shrink struct lock_class_key").

What seems to still be happening is that the dynamic lockdep keys which you
added make it possible for an unbounded number of entries to be added to the
fixed length stack_trace[] array in kernel/locking/lockdep.c.  Hence the "BUG:
MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low!".

Am I understanding it correctly?  How did you intend this to work?
