Well that took a long time but I completed the bisection.  I had to
disable CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL because this option was apparently causing
almost every kernel between 5.2 and 5.3-rc1 to be unbootable for some
reason which made successful bisection impossible.

The first commit which exhibits the oops described is 218e6424e711
("keys: Garbage collect keys for which the domain has been removed").

The immediately preceding 8 commits are "skipped" because they crash
quite differently from the issue seen in Linux 5.3.  After 218e6424e711
the observed crash is always exactly the same.

However the crash in the "skipped" kernels occurs under similar
circumstances with significantly more catastrophic results: the system
becoming completely non-responsive (I think basically every user process
is killed), nothing is saved, making it difficult to obtain logs.  I can
try netconsole or something if it would help.
