I have had a brief and wildly unsuccessful look at this. I'm happy to
come back to it and go over it with a finer toothed comb, but it will
almost certainly have to wait until next year.

I don't think it's related to RCU, we also have a plain lockup:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=be03729d17bb3b2df1754a7486a8f8628f6ff1ec

Dmitry, I've been really struggling to repro this locally, even with
your config. Is there an easy way to see the kernel command line you
booted with and anything else that makes this image special? I have zero
experience with smack so this is a steep learning curve.

Daniel
