Looking more closely, you seem to be testing this:

commit d127129e85a020879f334154300ddd3f7ec21c1e (HEAD, tag: next-20171129)
Author: Stephen Rothwell <s...@...b.auug.org.au>
Date:   Wed Nov 29 14:09:56 2017 +1100
    Add linux-next specific files for 20171129

which is almost certainly missing this fix:

https://lkml.kernel.org/r/bc7296f4c8d86af71c31a17588c79d89c0890edc.1512109321.git.luto@kernel.org

on account of the fix being sent the day after the tag.

The symptoms you're seeing are definitely consistent with a screwed up
TSS after VM exit.
