This looks unrelated to the oops itself, but still something that
needs to be fixed, of course. [ Maintainers added to Cc: ]

43b7a800 looks suspicious, it could have been a valid kernel
address, if only for what looks like a single-bit flip.

Thanks to Randy's wonderful decodecode script, we know this is
mov    (%edx,%eax,4),%eax

I think this is slab_alloc() inlined from SLUB's kmem_cache_zalloc():

	page = s->cpu_slab[smp_processor_id()];
	if (unlikely(!page || !page->lockless_freelist ||
			(node != -1 && page_to_nid(page) != node)))

		object = __slab_alloc(s, gfpflags, node, addr, page);

	else {
		object = page->lockless_freelist;
		page->lockless_freelist = object[page->offset];	<=== Oops
	}

which shouldn't happen unless you have memory errors. I'd suggest
to check with memtest86+.
