And to make things even more interesting, this later changes to "BUG:
unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference in vb2_vmalloc_put":

testing release v4.12
testing commit 6f7da290413ba713f0cdd9ff1a2a9bb129ef4f6c with gcc (GCC) 8.1.0
all runs: crashed: general protection fault in refcount_sub_and_test
testing release v4.11
testing commit a351e9b9fc24e982ec2f0e76379a49826036da12 with gcc (GCC) 7.3.0
all runs: crashed: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer
dereference in vb2_vmalloc_put

And since the original bug is in vb2 subsystem
(https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=17535f4bf5b322437f7c639b59161ce343fc55a9),
it's actually not clear even for me, if we should treat it as the same
bug or not. May be different manifestation of the same root cause, or
a different bug around.
