So far I've seen this misbehavior 100% of the time on two different
systems running 5.19-rc. But, I agree, it's not known how broadly
reproducible this is on the cohort of systems now running 5.19-rc.

The trace_printk() call site in nfsd_file_slab_free() shows up like
this via "trace-cmd show -p":

     ksoftirqd/2-28      [002] ..s..    61.849252: nfsd_file_slab_free: nf=0000000007b6d60b
     ksoftirqd/2-28      [002] ..s..    61.849257: nfsd_file_slab_free: nf=000000004bf47e99
          <idle>-0       [005] ..s1.    61.853212: nfsd_file_slab_free: nf=0000000029187f87
          <idle>-0       [005] ..s1.    61.853223: nfsd_file_slab_free: nf=000000003cd1db63

So, it looks like the misbehavior appears only with "trace-cmd report".

[root@...et ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Fedora release 35 (Thirty Five)
[root@...et ~]# trace-cmd version

trace-cmd version 2.9.2 (not-a-git-repo)

usage:
  trace-cmd [COMMAND] ...

  commands:
     record - record a trace into a trace.dat file
     set - set a ftrace configuration parameter

 ...

     check-events - parse trace event formats
     dump - read out the meta data from a trace file
