Thanks for reporting this. For everyone interested, please note that it
had been also reported by syzbot a few days before:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/6a8c23a0.dbb3a75c.7844.0001.GAE@xxxxxxxxxx/
Currently there is no follow up to the syzbot report.

If you could please send me the reproducer, I'd be happy to take a
look.

Thanks. If I figure it out and send a patch, I'll be sure to copy you.
