Since syzbot already found a syz reproducer, you can ask syzbot to test it.

Excuse me, but this is linux-next only problem. Therefore,

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master

F.Y.I. Waiting until __mmput() completes (with timeout using OOM score feedback)
( https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/patch.diff?x=101e449c400000 ) solves this race.
