Serial console is currently broken by suspend, resume. _But_ I have a
patch I'd like you to try.... pretty please?

That is not an oops, rather a kernel BUG(). Can you just remove
might_sleep line and see what happens?
Unfortunately, backtrace does not tell me which notifier chain did
that :-(. Are you using audit or something like that?
/*
* lock for reading
*/
static inline void down_read(struct rw_semaphore *sem)
{
might_sleep();
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
rwsemtrace(sem,"Entering down_read");
__down_read(sem);
rwsemtrace(sem,"Leaving down_read");
}
