Cool! What is the fix?
We don't need to wait for the fix to percolate up (and then down
too!). syzbot gracefully handles when a patch is not yet present
everywhere (it happens all the time).

Btw, this was due to a stack overflow, right? Or something else?
We are trying to make KASAN configuration detect stack overflows too,
so that it does not cause havoc next time. But it turns out to be
non-trivial and our current attempt seems to fail:
