Probably "mov (%rbx),%rbx" is "vma = mm->mmap",

and this loads the addr of vma->vm_end for kasan,

which reporst the error. But in this case this is not NULL-deref,
note that $rbx = 2ce0ffffffffffff and this is below __PAGE_OFFSET
(but above TASK_SIZE_MAX). It seems it is not even canonical. In
any case this odd value can't be valid.

Again, looks like mm->mmap pointer was corrupted. Perhaps you can
re-test with the stupid patch below. But unlikely it will help. If
mm was freed we would probably see something else.
