So let's make things easy.  Attached please find my minimal config.
This is what I use when I normally build a test kernels, and I get it
by running "kvm-xfstests install-kconfig".  I use it because it's fast
to build, since it doesn't build extraneous stuff.  I've also attached
the "seb-config", which is your configuration with the minimal changes
needed so it can run under qemu.  The compressed size is twice as big,
and it takes 2-3 times longer to build.

I can't reproduce the problem you are seeing using kvm-xfstests using
either kernel config building on 5.17.
