Thanks for the review Eric.

Boris, the elaborate deatils you provided would also be what would be
needed for a commit log, specially since this is fixing a crash. If
you confirm this is still present upstream by reproducing with a test
case it would be wonderful.

If you are familiar with what might be the issue, you can even construct
your own kernel-code proof of concept test using lib/test_sysctl.c. We use the
script tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh to hammer on that.
