syzbot found a reproducer, and the reproducer was working until next-20180803.
But the reproducer is failing to reproduce this problem in next-20180806 despite
there is no mm related change between next-20180803 and next-20180806.

Therefore, I suspect that the reproducer is no longer working as intended. And
there was parser change (your patch) between next-20180803 and next-20180806.
