I mean task_numa_find_cpu(). If a garbage is in cpumask_of_node(env->dst_nid)
and cpu is bigger than mask, the check

cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, tsk_cpus_allowed(env->p)

may be true.

So, we dereference wrong rq in task_numa_compare(). It's not rq at all.
Strange cpu may be from here. It's just a int number in a wrong memory.

A hypothesis that below may help:

diff --git a/kernel/sched/fair.c b/kernel/sched/fair.c
