Hmm, you had:

- RIP=0 in the original report (start_this_handle)
- RIP=0 in the second (mutex_lock_nested in ext4)
- RIP=1 now

The more interesting one is the other one which doesn't have a small RIP,
because it has RIP that is slightly larger than the stack pointer, meaning
it's likely a frame pointer.  And this means in turn that the call trace
is correct, and the bug might have happened closer to the actual corruption.

My wild guess is that RSP is getting corrupted, but I guess I'll have to try
to reproduce to figure out what happens.

The last thing I need from you (hopefully) is a Kconfig.  If you have some
time, it would be great to check if you can reproduce it with an older kernel
version---trying 4.4-rc1 and 4.3 would be great.
