Bah, so I see some watchdog traces with preemption off, and that then
taints the kernel, and the fuzzing stops.  I'll hack something up
so it ignores the taint and keeps going. All I really care about here
is the "machine hangs completely" case, which the trace below didn't
hit..

(back to fuzzing almost everything, not just lsetxattr btw)
