This looks like process_one_work() tried to execute address 0, possibly
when it does:

	worker->current_func(work);

So there is an "events" workqueue with a NULL function which
process_one_work() tries to call. You could add some more debugging in
this function or you could start bisecting (could check 3.18 first).
