Thanks!  Saw this internally, was waiting for it to hit the lists.

I haven't been able to repro the syzkaller test (abuses /dev/bus/usb crud), but
I believe the issue is that KVM attempts to mark a kmalloc'd page as accessed.
workingset_activation() doesn't expect this and invokes folio_memcg_rcu() on a
SLAB page, which triggers the VM_BUG.

I suspect this can be reproduced with a KVM selftest by mapping KVM's own vcpu->run
memory into the guest.  I'll give that a shot.

In the meantime...
