Since CONFIG_CMDLINE in the attached config file includes sysctl.kernel.hung_task_all_cpu_backtrace=1 ,
khungtaskd calls trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() when a hung task is detected.

trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() is expected to be safe, but there seems a bug
which is triggering a general protection fault.
