I've just tried to boot with fresh -tip

but got the same issue. So I tried to go deeper, and here is a result: we're failing
in arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack_64.c:in_exception_stack routine, precisely at line
ep = &estack_pages[k];
/* Guard page? */
if (!ep->size)
return false;
so I added a logline here

I presume the kmemleak tries to save stack trace too early when estack_pages are not
yet filled.
