+Alex, Marco,

There is suspicion that these may be caused by use of unreleased clang.
Do we use the same clang as we use for the KMSAN instance? But this is
not KMSAN machine, so I am not sure who/when/why updated it last to
this revision.
I even see we have some clang 11 version:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/docs/syzbot.md#crash-does-not-reproduce

Is it possible to switch to some released version for both KMSAN and KASAN now?
